A 50 year old woman was taken to hospital suffering from the effects of smoke inhalation following a fire in a townhouse in Nanaimo on Sunday.
Firefighters got the call at about 9: 15 Sunday morning to the townhouse complex just off Bowen Road.
A second woman and her two children, aged 3 months and 4 years, managed to escape the blaze.
There’s no word on the cause.
