Firefighters battle house fire in Kitimat, BC
On the sunny afternoon of Sunday, October 24, 2010, I just happened to look out my front window when suddenly white smoke began to appear in the valley below in the Kildala neighborhood of Kitimat, smoke which quickly added dark gray and spread out horizontally over a wide area of the neighborhood.
There had been an explosion and fire in a family home on Stikine St.. Thankfully there were no injuries.
