At 10:35pm on September 30, police responded to the Arlington Apartments at 625 Goderich Street in Port Elgin to a report of the smoke alarm sounding at a second floor apartment. The complainant felt the occupant was in the apartment because her vehicle was in the parking lot. The Saugeen Shores Fire Service was called. The officers could detect the odour of smoke through the door. Police kicked the door in and once the door opened the heavy smoke from the apartment filled the hallway and set off the main fire alarm for the apartment building. Officers located a burning pan on the stove and took measures to extinguish the fire. A 56 year old woman was found unresponsive but breathing. She was taken by ambulance to the hospital and was admitted for smoke inhalation. One of the officers was also taken to hospital for smoke inhalation and released. The actions of the complainant and the police officers clearly saved the life of this woman.
