House fire kills 2 people in Rawdon, Que.

Two people died in a house fire in Rawdon, Que., early Friday morning. Emergency responders rushed to a house on Rectory Garden Street around 1:30 a.m. after receiving a call from someone inside the house. The person told a 911 operator that their house was on fire and then the line cut out, according to Éloïse Cossette, a spokesperson for Quebec provincial police.

Cossette said firefighters who arrived on the scene found the house engulfed in flames and, later, discovered two bodies inside the burned out home. Investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire and identify the dead. Two people who lived in the house, a man and a woman who were "around 70 years old," are missing, Cossette said..
