It’s not uncommon for unhoused people to loiter and congregate along the railroad tracks, or its adjacent corridor, not far from Fuel Motorsports. The Sardis Bottle Depot is just up the road for scavengers who bring cans and bottles to the depot for money.

One fire engine cleared the scene at 10:48 a.m., while the fire engine that assumed Vedder Road command told dispatch at 11:02 a.m. the fire had been extinguished, overhaul occurred, and they were clear from the scene.

Chilliwack firefighters returned to Fuel Motorsports at 12:16 p.m. for a post-fire check, according to scanner dispatch.

Just two nights ago, another similar suspicious fire occurred at Trixie’s Car Wash. According to Chilliwack resident Hailey VanBasten, a dumpster fire occurred early Monday morning sometime after midnight. She shared three images with Fraser Valley Today of first responders at or near the car wash.
