From Times Colonist:

The fire was reported at 3:27 a.m. at 4904 Cordova Bay Rd.

A neighbour said a reclusive couple live in the home with a dog. She saw firefighters rescue a black dog but no one else.

One body was removed from the home and taken to a B.C. Coroners Service vehicle around 10:42 a.m.

Police will not share the names, gender or age of the deceased, pending notification to family.

Several neighbours saw black smoke pouring from the home but no flames.

Upon arriving at the home, Saanich firefighters found smoke coming from the west side of the home, said Saanich Fire Battalion Chief Randy Law.

“Firefighters fought the fire from the inside until the fire was controlled enough to conduct a search,” Law said.
