Off-duty Mountie saves three from burning home in Lake Cowichan
Mike Bell and his son Travis were sleeping when a fire broke out in their house. They lost everything. A residence on Cowichan Avenue near King George Road went up in flames early Sunday morning.
“I want to also recognize and acknowledge the efforts made by the neighbour who tried their best to rouse the occupants of that home and called for emergency assistance. These neighbourly acts really speak to the close-knit and supportive community we live in here in Lake Cowichan,” Watson added. Webber said he didn’t know at the time that the father and son were able to escape, adding the explosions made him “a tad nervous” to run up to see if he could help.
