When crews arrived, flames could be seen in an upstairs bedroom of the two-storey home.
Vernon Fire Rescue Services says the fire happened Thursday around 1 a.m., along the 2400 block of 25th Avenue.“Crews quickly began actioning the fire and were successful in containing it to the upstairs bedroom,” said the fire department.The home’s three occupants, plus a pet dog, escaped the home safely.
“Firefighters were able to quickly contain this fire thanks in large part to one of the children in the house who called 911 to report the fire,” said deputy fire chief Alan Hofsink.“His actions not only alerted firefighters, assisting in a quick response, but also helped to ensure his family exited the building safely.”
