Doug and Kris Townshend were heading out Friday evening around 7:30 PM when Kris remarked that it seemed foggy outside. As the couple looked through the sliding glass door they quickly realized it wasn’t fog. Kris ran for the phone to call 911 and Doug, a 21-year veteran of the Alexandria Fire Department and a lieutenant with the Westmoreland VFD, ran to the neighbor’s home where flames were already venting from the kitchen.
