Quebec provincial police say they have found a body in the community where two volunteer firefighters were swept away by floodwaters Monday.

Police say in a news release today that it appears to be the body of one of the men who went missing during a rescue mission in St-Urbain, Que., northeast of Quebec City, but a coroner will have to confirm.
