A mattress fire was quickly extinguished by crews on Friday in Trail. The emergency call was received from the Groutage Avenue apartments at roughly 4:40PM. Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire and Rescue say the blaze was contained to that apartment and things were under control just after 5:00PM. One person had to be transported to Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital by ambulance for smoke inhalation.
Fire and Rescue reminds residents to exit a building when you hear a smoke alarm and also to ensure that they are in working order.
