Dear Editor,
Today, when my son came home from early dismissal at school, he found the fire alarm blaring at our house. Unbeknownst to him, his dad had accidentally left some eggs boiling on the stovetop before heading off to work and the house was full of smoke.
Needless to say, my son was distraught. At that exact moment, our Canada Post carrier was passing by. My son let him into the house where he shut off the gas stove and did a cursory check — “No fire, just smoke,” he reassured my son.
To be on the safe side, my son and a neighbour called 911 and Fire-Rescue Capt. Bryan Walters and his crew did an excellent job of checking out the house and removing the smoke.
I’d like to thank both our neighbourhood Canada Post carrier for being the eyes and ears of our neighbourhood and Richmond Fire for their continued community presence in keeping our neighbourhoods safe.
We’re all good... thanks to you!
