NANAIMO — Residents of a home escaped serious injuries following a late afternoon house fire.
Fire Rescue crews were called to a home in the 2500 block of Quill Dr., between Rosstown Rd. and Labieux Rd. just before 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 15.
A nearby neighbour, Anthony, told NanaimoNewsNOW he was preparing for an evening motorbike ride when he and his grandfather spotted smoke.
“I jumped on the bike and came down here and the flames in the back were massive. We then noticed [the lone resident] parked right on that chair over there and he was in and out of consciousness.”
