Quick thinking neighbours were able to make sure everyone was safe when a fire erupted in a home in the 3200-block of Doncaster Drive Friday morning.

Saanich resident Chris Wagner was on her way to work when she noticed a potted plant burning on the houseB次元官网网址檚 balcony. But before she could park the car and notify her neighbour, the blaze had spread. She called 911 and quickly entered the home alongside three other neighbours to ensure no one was inside.

One of the houseB次元官网网址檚 six residents had been asleep when the fire erupted B次元官网网址 but made it out with no injuries. Firefighters arrived on scene shortly after 8 a.m. to extinguish the fire.

B次元官网网址淏eing late for work isnB次元官网网址檛 always a bad thing, I guess,B次元官网网址 Wagner said.

Saanich Fire Assistant Deputy Chief Michael Kaye said damage to the home is quite substantial and extended to the roof trusses. The fire spread through much of the attic of the home and there is quite a bit of fire, smoke and water damage.

Investigators remained on scene to determine the cause of the fire.
