CHILLIWACK — Multiple Chilliwack Fire Department units were called for a fire at a truck and diesel repair business just off Yale Road Monday evening (Apr. 7) in the city’s industrial sector.

According to multiple social media posts and witness descriptions, firefighters were called to the 7900 block of Aitken Road for the report of a fire, believed to be at TDC Truck & Diesel Repair, sometime around 7 p.m.

Pictures in a Chilliwack-area Facebook group showed bright flames and thick black smoke billowing from what appeared to be a dump truck on fire.
