CHILLIWACK — Promontory resident Rob Silver-Fox says he’s witnessed a number of fires along Chilliwack Lake Road the past month or so, one of which he captured from his phone Monday night, in an area usually inhabited by unhoused residents.
Silver-Fox called in the latest fire to emergency dispatch Monday night (Jan. 20) after seeing it from the family room window of his residence on Bridle Ridge Crescent in Promontory. He says the fire happened about mid-way across the river flood plain, in close proximity to the Bridle Ridge trail parking lot.
