Gold River residents woke up to plumes of smoke and massive flames ravaging mobile homes in the Matchlee Drive area Saturday morning.
Local firefighters arrived on scene around 2:30 a.m. and quickly called in reinforcements from the Campbell River Fire Department, according to Gold River Mayor Brad Unger.
“So, six in total from an area where there are probably about 10 mobile homes in that little cul-de-sac,” he said. “Fortunately, our crew was on it soon and fought back and kept the other ones from burning down completely.”He says firefighters were busy all morning extinguishing the fire and all hot spots, and also notes that locals lent a helping hand.
Recalling the incident, Laviolette says propane tanks near one mobile home “we’re going off like fireworks,” summing it up as “quite the thing.”
