FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 26th, 2022

On October 25th at approximately 9:40pm, the Chilliwack Fire Department was dispatched to a report of a structure fire in the 45000 block of Reece Avenue. Approximately 30 Firefighters from Halls 1, 2, 4 and 6 responded to the scene and discovered heavy flames and black smoke coming from the rear of a two storey detached residential home.

Fire crews faced several challenges in fighting this fire including difficulty accessing the home and fire that was spreading into the attic and concealed spaces of the home. Despite these challenges, fire crews worked hard and were able to extinguish the fire before it spread to nearby vegetation and adjacent properties.

The home was unoccupied at the time of the fire and the home sustained heavy fire, smoke and water damage.

This fire is under investigation by Chilliwack Fire officials and the RCMP.
