Pregnant woman and her neighbor identified as heroes in Nelson House shed fire

Two people, who were at the right place at the right time, are being credited with saving 4 children from a burning shed in Nelson House.

 

 

Chasity Spence, who is 11 weeks pregnant, and Arnold Culley heard the children and ran to help.

 

Spence says she ripped off a door: "When I got that door open, that little girl had run through the fire, but when we looked back in we could see nothing but fire and smoke, so Arnold went around to the side back corner there. I don’t even know what he used, but he just started prying open that corner, he got it open a little bit and that little boy fell out and then the other two little girls came running out".

 

The 3 girls were taken to a Winnipeg hospital, where one remains in stable condition.

 

RCMP say the fire started inside the shed, and have deemed the fire to be non-suspicious and non-criminal in nature. They are still investigating the actual cause of the fire.
