housefire may1A fire broke out at a seemingly vacant house on College St in Chilliwack this morning. Crews were called in around 3:30am to the house across the street from the Henderson Funeral Home downtown. Flames could be seen shooting into the night sky. It looks like no one was in the house at the time, and it took crews several hours to knock it down.  The house was completely destroyed. Fire investigators believe it was deliberately set.

If anyone has any information about this fire, they are asked to call the RCMP at 604-792-4611 or anonymously through Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www.chilliwackcrimestoppers.ca
