They aren’t just roofers, they’re heroes to Vanda Thomson of Burnaby.

Thomson sent a letter and called the BurnabyNOW to make sure that the guys at RooFix get credit for a couple of good deeds.

During the snow and ice storms last month, Thomson was trapped in her home.

Her garage door was frozen shut and so was her back door.

“I was really scared,” she said, “I wouldn’t have gotten out if it wasn’t for them.”

She called RooFix, and within an hour they were there to help.

One guy got on the roof and dislodged some dangerous chunks of ice that could have fallen off and injured someone, and the other fellow thawed out the garage door and made sure that Thomson could get out and return safely.

“They deserve a big thank you,” she said.
