An off-duty Mountie is being credited with saving the lives of three people from a burning home in Lake Cowichan, B.C., early Sunday morning.
The North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP say a resident called 911 at 4:41 a.m. to report a neighbour's home was on fire on Cowichan Avenue near King George Street.
An RCMP officer happened to be driving by on his way to work and was able to gain access to the home, the statement said.
