Soldier en route to Afghanistan saves family from fire
By QMI Agency
A soldier from CFB Esquimalt, located near Victoria, B.C., was making his way to the airport to be deployed to Afghanistan when he noticed a fire burning on the balcony of a house beside the road.
The soldier, only identified as a master corporal with the military police stationed at CFB Esquimalt, stopped to make sure the people in the house knew of the fire, but ended up putting it out for them, too. He then called the fire department.
Nobody was injured and the fire was declared accidental.
Local RCMP expressed their appreciation for the potentially life-saving act.
"We appreciate the steps this soldier took and we wish him well in his deployment," an RCMP spokesperson said.
No word on whether the extra stop made the soldier late for his flight.
I'm sure his excuse would have made the cut anyway.
