Chilliwack Fire Crews Attend Residential Structure Fire

On August 29th at approximately 6:50am the Chilliwack Fire Department was dispatched to a reported house fire in the 9500 block of Corbould Street.

Over 15 Firefighters responded from Halls 1 and 4 and upon arriving on scene, observed a trailer adjacent to the house on fire, with flames quickly spreading into the attic of the older, two storey home. Fire crews initiated a defensive attack with large diameter hose streams to quickly knock down the flames and then entered the home to complete the extinguishment of the fire.

The trailer was completely consumed by the fire and the house received fire, smoke and water damage.

All occupants and their pets were able to safely exit the home. The Chilliwack Emergency Support Services (ESS) team responded to the scene to support the displaced occupants with immediate unmet needs.

This fire is currently under investigation by Chilliwack Fire Officials.

There were no civilian or firefighter injuries reported.
