Kingston, Ont., family thanks community for support following house fire
Global News
Manny Medeiros is known for his tradition of Christmas lights displays at his home. This year's show is on hold following an April house fire, but the community hasn't forgotten.
Manny Medeiros may not exactly be a household name, but his Christmas magic is well known in the Kingston community.
His house on Davis Drive draws dozens if not hundreds of onlookers every year who come to check out his Christmas light display.
Following a fire last April, Medeiros’ light display has been put on hold.
Kingston Fire and Rescue says the fire started in the garage of the home, with Medeiros nearby.
” I opened the garage door going to the house and all I seen was that smoke, and that heat hit me like a ton of bricks,” Medeiros told Global News, recalling April 19 fire.
Medeiros says he doesn’t know how the fire started and Kingston Fire and Rescue has listed the cause as ‘undetermined’.
What isn’t a mystery is the acts of heroism that took place on the day of the fire.
Lisa Medeiros says Kingston Fire and Rescue deserve praise for containing the fire to the garage where it started and saving the house.
