One man suffered burns and smoke inhalation after a house fire in Mill Bay, B.C., on Saturday.
The Mill Bay Fire Department received the call for the fully involved house fire on Arbutus Terrace at 4:11 p.m.
"We were very lucky," said Mill Bay fire Chief Ron Beck."That time of day we normally get a wind that comes up off the ocean and for some reason we just didn’t have that and that prevented it from heading into the forest, creating a wildfire." With the crews focusing on stopping the spread of the fire, the house was lost to the blaze and most of what remains is rubble.
