CHILLIWACK — A fire believed to be at least 20-by-20, possibly bigger, consumed a log pile just east of the Vedder Bridge around mid-day Tuesday, prompting a joint response between Chilliwack Fire Department crews and provincial forestry personnel.

Multiple fire units were called to the area just east of Sidekick Brewing at approximately 12:13 p.m. for the report of a log pile on fire, according to a scanner recording provided to Fraser Valley Today by Chilliwack resident Julie Hiscock.
