A woman was injured after she and her two children jumped from the second storey of a home that caught fire in Hudson Wednesday morning.
Two Hydro-Quebec employees were working nearby when they heard screams coming from the house.
“When I called 9-1-1, I told her I said ‘I can hear somebody screaming there’s somebody stuck in the house,'” Mario Ménard, one of the employees, said.
As the family jumped, Ménard and his coworker Guy Desgagné were there to catch them.
According to Sûreté du Québec spokesperson Ingrid Asselin, she didn’t suffer any burns and the children are unharmed.
The blaze broke out around 6:10 a.m. in a home located at 70 Main St., near Montée Mason.
Main Street was closed to traffic as crews battled the blaze.
A neighbouring residence was evacuated as a safety precaution.
Asselin said the home was heavily damaged and the cause of the fire is not yet known.
