Another Day, Another Church On Fire
About 50 firefighteres were on scene. They entered the building but because the church's inside was collapsing they backed out. "It's been a defensive or exterior fire fight ever since,” Iain Bushell, the town's general manager of infrastructure, told CTVNews.ca.
St. Jean Baptiste is one of the largest buildings in town and a very old wooden construction. Therefore, the fire spread very quickly and it was a very difficult to fight it.
The church was constructed in 1907, and the first Mass was celebrated on 1 January 1908. Setting fire to Catholic churches has become a fashion in Canada.
