About a week and a half after an e-bike battery fire destroyed a Mill Bay home, the family is asking for help finding their missing dog.
Warbeck family is looking for their dog Butch.
On August 5, Mill Bay fire crews were called to a home at about 3 p.m. on Arbutus Terrace, off Inlet Drive, for a report of a fire.About an hour before the home went up in flames Dave Warbeck, the homeowner, plugged in an e-bike he was holding and charging for a friend to charge in the carport. Throughout the hour he said he was in and out of the carport to go through and put his two dogs in there while his wife was working, and everything was normal.“I went into panic mode. I went out the back door. I was in swim trunks, no shoes, nothing. I opened the door and could see the electric bike I was charging on fire,” Warbeck explained.
“I tried to kick open the door. By doing that I sort of fell and was blasted by a wall of flames so I got my face burnt, my shoulder burnt and it kind of knocked me back to the ground,” Warbeck said.“I saw one of my dogs come out through the heavy smoke. He was the older dog,” Warbeck said. “But I couldn’t see the younger one and my neighbour at the time started screaming at me to get out of the house because it was going to go.
