The Surete du Quebec (SQ) said the fire started around 9 a.m. at the building on Saint-Marcel St. but was under control by 10:45 a.m.
For the moment, there appear to be no other injuries, said SQ spokesperson Nancy Fournier.
For the moment, it is not known what triggered the fire or if a working smoke detector was in the dwelling.
