A Courtenay family safely escaped an early-morning fire that badly damaged their home, and one homeowner says tragedy may have struck had they not been awake at the time.
Posted: Aug. 2, 2023 12:40PMFirefighters battle a structure fire in the 1000-block of Arrowsmith Avenue on Wednesday, Aug. 2, 2023. Crews were called to the fire around 6:15 a.m., and all occupants made it out safely, according to Courtenay fire chief Kurt MacDonald.
“All four occupants were out upon arrival. Once we got set up, we were able to get some water on the fire and knock it down.” “I went to investigate, and the ceiling fan had broken into two. One part on the floor was on fire, and where the mechanical part was was on fire.”“I ran downstairs to get a fire extinguisher, ran upstairs and did what I could while my wife was on the phone with 911,” he said. “As soon as it exhausted the extinguisher, I went and got the kids out as quick as we could and waited.”
