The scene arriving crews faced at last nights fast spreading structure fire on Mary Street. A quick exterior attack followed by interior confinement limited fire spread and damage to adjacent structures. Great work by all involved. #yyjnews

After a trip to the vet for a checkup, Willow is recovering just fine. Willow’s owner provided this photo of the kitten resting by the fireplace and noted: "There aren’t adequate words to describe how grateful I am to the Victoria Fire Department for saving Willow." (2/3)
This week, @VictoriaFire730 was called to a residence where a cat had gone missing. The family pet had crawled down a basement drain and was hiding approximately 2 metres down the pipe. Firefighters safely broke through the concrete and recovered Willow. (1/3)
