The Christmas gifts of a couple from Bécancour, in Center-du-Québec, were saved thanks to the presence of mind of the firefighters who came to put out a fire that broke out in their residence on Friday morning.
The fire, which allegedly broke out due to an electrical problem with the dishwasher, heavily damaged the house in the Sainte-Gertrude sector.
The Bécancour firefighters had the good idea, on Christmas Eve, to take the gifts out of a window to prevent them from being damaged by smoke, water or fire.
The victims were welcomed with family members.
