SARDIS (CHILLIWACK) – A fire broke out Tuesday afternoon on Watson Road just west of Vedder Road.

Chilliwack fire crews were called to the 45600 block of Watson Road near a trailer park.

Authorities haven’t identified what exactly caught on fire, but a person on Facebook suggests it was a shed that caught fire.

Smoke was visible from Vedder Road near the Royal Canadian Legion building.
