10:35 pm police responded to the Arlington Apartments at 625 Goderich St Port Elgin to a report of the smoke alarm sounding at a second floor apartment. The complainant felt the occupant was in the apartment because her vehicle was in the parking lot. The Saugeen Shores Fire Service was called. The officers could detect the odour of smoke through the door. Police kicked the door in and once the door opened the heavy smoke from the apartment filled the hallway and set off the main fire alarm for the apartment building. Officers located a burning pan on the stove, turned off the stove and used a fire extinguisher to put out the burning pan. The officers searched the smoke filled apartment and located a 56 year old woman unresponsive but breathing laying half on a bed. The two officers dragged the female out into the hall where she was taken by ambulance to the hospital. The officers searched the rest of the apartment for other occupants but none were found. One of the officers was taken to hospital for smoke inhalation and released. The female was admitted to hospital with smoke inhalation. The actions of the complainant and the police officers clearly saved the life of this woman.
