Quebec provincial police are searching for two firefighters who were carried away by floodwaters near Baie-Saint-Paul, Que., as heavy rains swelled river levels across the province on Monday.

Meanwhile, the mayor of Baie-Saint-Paul, located about 100 kilometres northeast of Quebec City, said in an afternoon news conference that about 1,000 residents in the downtown area have been isolated by floodwaters which have cut off several roads and bridges.

“We ask people to co-operate and not leave their homes unless they are in danger,” said Michaël Pilote. “The place where we are safest right now is in our homes.”
