This aerial photo released January 23, 2014 courtesy of Surete du Quebec shows the remains of a massive fire at a Quebec residence for the elderly. The fire at a Quebec residence for the elderly has killed at least three people, with 30 more missing, authorities said Thursday.The blaze at the home, which housed an estimated 50 to 60 elderly people in 52 units, broke out shortly after midnight. "We could hear screaming from inside. The fire was intense, it was like a haystack on fire," Pascal Fillion, a neighbor who witnessed it, told Radio-Canada. By 1 a.m. (0600 GMT) the building "was completely engulfed in flames, which were fanned by the wind," he said. The home is located in the small town of L'Isle-Verte, which has a population of about 1,400 people. The town's acting mayor, Ginette Caron, told a news conference that most of residents of the home are reliant on caregivers.
