The owners of a home that was devastated by fire last week in the Massey Place neighbourhood are looking for support as they put their lives back together.
“It was pretty intense and really scary,” Christina Fontaine told CTV News about the fire, which left the couple, their dogs and two snakes out on the street.
It was just before 3 a.m. when Fontaine was awoken suddenly by her husband.
“He said, get out of the house now, there’s a fire. I knew by his tone that he meant business,” she recalls.
The fire moved from the back deck where it started through the dining room and kitchen, located at the back of the house.
It devoured their home within minutes, Fontaine says.
She said she dodged flames and smoke to escape through the front door, which wasn’t the nearest escape route, but the intense flames were taking out the ceiling and walls rapidly.
