Bad luck seems to happen on dairy farms in recent weeks. A farm was destroyed by fire early this morning in Saint-Alexandre. The main building of the farm Jébelle Lapointe was completely destroyed by fire.

18 animals were rescued from the flames. But they had to be euthanized because they had inhaled smoke.
” We were taken to euthanize 18. The animals were burned by … ,” he stopped talking, unable to stop crying .

” His grandfather just died. The funeral is this weekend . He said that his grandfather picked this morning he had gone. It’s terrible ,” book with emotion stepmother Jerome Hélène Thiboutot .
Forty firefighters battled the blaze. Two homes were evacuated. Nobody was injured and the amount of damage is unknown. Jérôme Lapointe plans to rebuild .
