One of the victims of the apartment fire in Port Hardy last week needs some help to fix one of his four legs.
Last Sunday, the C-block of the Town Park Apartments went up in flames, leaving more than 25 people homeless.
Cindi Ilchuck climbed down a drain pipe to escape the blaze, and her support dog Dex was tossed down to her.

While she broke his fall, he landed badly and broke a joint in his lower leg. Cindi’s mom has started a go-fund-me campaign, to help cover the costs of his surgery in Campbell River.
