A couple of fires and the windstorm whipped up a busy Tuesday night for West Shore fire departments.

B次元官网网址淲est Shore departments were really busy with multiple calls,B次元官网网址� said Langford Fire Rescue Chief Chris Aubrey. B次元官网网址淲e had two small fires in apartment buildings and once the windstorm hit we had a number of calls from that as well.B次元官网网址�

The first call came in just after 9 p.m. for a fire in a dryer on the second floor in the Meaford Heights apartment building. Crews from Langford, View Royal and Colwood responded as part of their auto-aid protocol.

Although the fire caused the sprinkler system to activate, it was relatively small and easy to put out, Aubrey said.

B次元官网网址淔ortunately, no one was hurt, although one person was checked by BC Ambulance personnel for smoke inhalation,B次元官网网址� he said. Crews remained on scene to assist with water damage in that suite and the suite below.

A later call at 2 a.m. on Jan. 13 resulted from smoke from a small cooking fire in a unit on the fourth floor of an apartment building in the 500-block of Goldstream Avenue.

That call was related to a medical emergency involving a resident who was treated by BC Ambulance personnel.

B次元官网网址淭here was no damage,B次元官网网址� Aubrey said. B次元官网网址淲e were fortunate that someone in the adjoining suite heard the smoke detector and called us right away.B次元官网网址�
