“This incident was a very dynamic, high-risk situation for all those involved,” says Sgt. Krista Vrolyk, Media spokesperson for the Chilliwack RCMP. “Victim Services is available to anyone in need of support and we will be working with residents in the area over the next few days to ensure that they are aware of the services available.”

The home involved in the incident suffered significant fire damage during the incident and is likely a complete write-off. Images of the fire appeared on social media overnight.

“This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of police work,” said Vrolyk. “Discipline, teamwork and a high degree of expertise and training by Members of the Lower Mainland Integrated Emergency Response Team and our front-line officers, allowed this incident to be resolved safely without significant injury.”
