A family is safe after a fire tore through the garage of their North Saanich home Wednesday. Fire crews were called out just after 6:30 a.m. to the single-family home in the Ardmore neighbourhood.
With a long, dry summer and drought conditions, many municipalities have opted out of doing community bonfires for Halloween this year, despite the recent rainfall. North Saanich, though, is still going ahead with plans for its Halloween night event.
The North Saanich Fire Department says its members performed "an important roadside rescue" Friday morning after receiving a call from a concerned citizen.
