Family taken from harm’s way as garage ignites
It was a scary experience for a Prince Albert mom, along with her four young children and boyfriend.
Kristal Litschell was woken by the banging on her front door on 14th Street West early Tuesday morning. It was a passing police officer.
“It was just before six in the morning and the officer said ‘You need to get out, there’s a big fire,’” Litschell told paNOW. “I got the kids out of bed and we got outside and the garage was completely full of flames.”
She said the fire department responded quickly as did city bylaw who assigned a security guard to watch as the fire cooled because her home is located right next to the school.
