Fire Destroys Industrial Building

 

At approximately 10:00 pm last night, 50 firefighters from Chilliwack fire halls 1, 3, 4, 5 & 6 responded to a structure fire in the 43000 block of Industrial Way. When firefighters arrived, they found a single story industrial building fully involved with fire extending out of the roof.

Crews immediately went into a defensive mode to contain the fire to one building and protect adjacent buildings and a large propane tank.

BC Hydro and Fortis arrived on scene to disconnect hydro and gas services.

The building and contents were completely destroyed.

There were no civilian or firefighter injuries.

 

The fire is under investigation by the Chilliwack Fire Department and RCMP.
