CHILLIWACK — Two residents will need a new place to stay after an apartment fire in northside Chilliwack early Sunday (Oct. 12).

At around 1:48 a.m., the Chilliwack Fire Department responded to the scene in the 9500 block of Rotary Street and found heavy smoke and flames coming from a first-floor apartment window.

“Fire crews quickly initiated an exterior knockdown, followed by an offensive interior attack, successfully containing the fire to its room of origin,” said Assistant Fire Chief Wade Meeres.

BC Ambulance assessed two residents for smoke inhalation and took them to hospital for further testing. Chilliwack Emergency Social Services is also supporting the two displaced occupants.

All building residents had safely evacuated, and no firefighter injuries were reported.
