Firefighters rescue disabled girl from blaze

Published 24 Mar. 2008

A disabled girl around 11 years old is in hospital after firefighters rescued her from the window of a burning building in Montreal (Canada) early Monday morning.

Firefighters said the girl received non-life-threatening injuries when fire broke out around 2 a.m. at a three-storey apartment building on Fullum Street.

About 25 people fled the building, making way for about 100 firefighters who fought the flames and smoke.

The girl was left behind in a first-floor apartment, where firefighters reached her and carried her to safety.

A few firefighters remained on the scene of the charred building with smashed windows around 8:30 a.m. Monday.

Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the fire.
