is the probable cause. Mr. Lafreniere was awakened by the sound of two smoke detectors. He then proceeded downstairs where smoke was quickly invading the home. As he walked towards the stove he noticed flames coming thru from the ceiling. On exiting the premises he called 911. Shortly after the call the Chapleau Fire Department arrived but according to Mr.

Lafreniere within 10 to 15 minutes of his exit thirty foot flames were already coming out of the house. His experience as a former fire fighter served him well in his decision not to re-enter the house to fetch his wallet. He placed his hand on the door to feel for heat and at that point decided not to enter due to the probability of a flashover. The house is situated within town-

ship limits but no water or sewage services are provided in that area which of course includes water hydrants. The fire department had to make a multitude of trips to the fire hydrant located at Chapleau Auto Parts to fill up the tankers. Unfortunately, due to the high cost of insurance associated with, amongst other things, not having hydrants available

within a reasonable distance, Mr. Lafreniere had no insurance coverage for the house. “I’d like to thank both the Chapleau Fire Department and the Ontario Provincial Police for their professionalism” said Mr. Lafreniere. For those who neglect to install smoke detectors or to change their smoke detector batteries at least once a year please

note that a life was saved in Chapleau on September 28th, 2013 in the early morning hours due to not one but two working smoke detectors. Three or four minutes longer and a fatality would have occurred. For those wishing to help get Mr. Lafreniere get back on his feet, a trust account has been set up at the Royal Bank in Chapleau.
