From the ward office at CARDELREC on a very cold Saturday morning.
- Update on the Kittiwake fire and thank you to firefighters and paramedics. Reminder to check your smoke detector. (Initial information was that there were two adults home at the time of the fire. There were in fact five people home, and they all got out of the house alive. One adult was treated for a minor burn, and several were treated for frostbite. Firefighters rescued a frog, lizard, gecko and bird from the fire.)
