A neighbor on Garden street phoned 911 around 3:00pm to report the shed burning. Thankfully their brand new $5000 fence was not touched by the flames. Fortunately an attempt to make it fire proof by spraying water on it was not necessary, or probably useful.
Black smoke filled the air in Duncan on a chilly Wednesday afternoon. A house fire brings out both the Duncan and North Cowichan Fire fighters to fight the blaze. The house was on the Duncan side of the border the neighbor's house is in North Cowichan. That prompted the double call out. A house was located literally on the border of Duncan and North Cowichan prompting the call to both fire halls. What could be a suspicious fire erupted on Alderlea street, Wednesday Dec 7,2011. A shed in the back yard caught fire and ignited the house before the Firemen arrived. Witnesses say there could have been an accelerant used to start the shed on burning since a line of fire was seen leading into the backyard. The fire was apparently started after a argument between a male and female resident in the rented house. A neighbor on Garden street phoned 911 around 3:00pm to report the shed burning. Thankfully their brand new $5000 fence was not touched by the flames. Fortunately an attempt to make it fire proof by spraying water on it was not necessary, or probably useful. Within minuets spectators gathered and clogged Garden, Queens, James and Alderlea Streets making movement imposable. RCMP officers were hampered in reaching the location by traffic. Stuck for ten minuets in stalled traffic one street away made one RCMP officer pretty snippy when he reached the location. He was yelling at everyone even though they were standing back from the firemen. BC Hydro was called to shut the power off to the downed lines. The Fire crews then quickly had the flames doused and entered the residence, fortunately they found no one inside the house as was rumored by neighbors on the street. Team work between the two departments made quick work of the situation. From the Cowichan News Leader, a 29 year old man is a suspect in the blaze that consumed the house.
