Trail fire reveals hero — and villian

A Good Citizenship Award is due the young lady named Sierra, who spotted a small fire starting on a Ravensong Trail while exercising her dog early Sunday afternoon, Aug. 27. She ran some distance to Chestnut Street where she found Chestnut resident “Kim,” who provided buckets of water and help to extinguish the small fire.

A public shaming, meanwhile, goes to the irresponsible person or persons who allowed the small fire to get started in these severe drought conditions — and in a prize piece of our Qualicum Beach public forested properties.
