Saanich grass fire serves as reminder of dangerous conditions

 
SAANICH, B.C. --
A grass fire that broke out along Blanshard Street Saturday afternoon is being treated as a reminder that dangerous conditions are upon us.
The Saanich Fire Department responded to the centre median between Blanshard Street and Vernon Avenue for reports of a significant blaze. The fire spread to about 200 feet by 200 feet, according to Saanich fire captain Kevin Packford.
“We saw that it was substantial on route and got a couple more trucks here, got it out quickly,” said Packford.
The large median is an area that is sometimes used by unhoused campers, according to Packford.
