Naked Swingers

June 27th, 2009 by admin

Several people wrapped in only bedsheets and towels were forced to flee a fire Friday at a Montreal swingers’ club.

Firefighters climbed ladders and smashed windows to rescue five people, including patrons and club employees, who were trapped on the building’s second floor.
The fire broke out at about 6:30 a.m. ET in the basement of Auberge 1082, located on Rosemont Boulevard near Christophe Colombe Avenue.

“They have the sauna in the basement and rooms on the second floor,” said Gilles Ducharme, the Montreal fire department’s chief of operations. “It’s an adult club. And we had 10 person[s] inside at that moment, three employees and seven customers.”
Five others escaped on their own and were standing outside when firefighters arrived shortly after 6:30 a.m., a spokesman for the city’s fire department said.

The appearance of the barely dressed victims surprised neighbours on the street.

“They had sheets on them but they didn’t have a lot of clothes on coming down (the ladder),” said fire department spokesman Gilles Ducharme.

“I don’t know how many of them were not dressed, but there were a few of them - maybe five or six - that had only sheets on them.”
“When they broke down the window, we could barely breathe. We came out, we were in a robe because, you know, it’s a swingers’ club,” said one client.

A neighbour in a nearby apartment, who also refused to be named, witnessed the evacuation from his window and said it was a sight to behold with people running out in towels, half naked in the street.

Six people, including the five on the second floor, suffered minor smoke inhalation.

One bathhouse client said she’s grateful to the firefighters.

“I had minor cuts due to the glass and me and three other people needed oxygen, but we’re fine. Basically we’re fine and we’re alive.”
The clients and staff members were given shelter on a fire department bus while 60 firefighters took an hour to bring the basement blaze under control.

Ducharme said ambulance attendants treated six people at the scene for minor smoke inhalation.

The swingers club has several rooms on the second floor and a sauna in the basement, an area that sustained around $75,000 in damage, Ducharme said.

The fire department is investigating.

“It seems accidental,” he said. “It probably (started in) the heating system of the sauna
