Arson trial witness recalls escaping deadly motel fire (Prince George Citizen)

His dog and a quick-acting CBC reporter aided in a man's escape a deadly July 2020 fire that struck the Econo Lodge Motel in Prince George.

"My dog was on the bed, scratching at me and kind of freaking out," he told the court. Klein also attended the burn units in Calgary and Lethbridge over the following eight weeks. Klein said it stuck out for him because he does renovations for a living. According to an agreed statement of facts read into the court record on Wednesday, Fundal had just finished the morning show when they heard someone yelling fire. An amputee - he is missing the lower portion of one leg - Klein relies on crutches to get around. Klein rolled against the wall and yelled for help.
