Smoke alarm, quick-acting resident credited with saving lives in Valleyview motel fire
KAMLOOPS — Kamloops Fire Rescue (KFR) says a smoke alarm and the quick thinking of a Tournament Inn tenant saved lives this week.
A fire erupted in a unit at the motel early Tuesday morning (Mar. 2).
As smoke started billowing from the unit, it tripped a smoke alarm, awakening the resident next door, Rob Fletcher.
