NANAIMO — It was a team effort of firefighters and neighbours armed with garden hoses to preserve a Cathers Lake area home.
Nanaimo Fire Rescue investigator Alan Millbank said the fire destroyed a large workshop on Dockside Way in the late afternoon of Sunday, March 29, but the owners’ home just a few feet away was saved.
“There’s a little damage to the exterior of the house, but they’re able to stay, it was a pretty good save,” Millbank said
Millbank said there were no injuries. He was in the process of pinpointing the cause of the non-suspicious fire on Monday morning.
