Barn Fire

At 11:50am today, 40 firefighters from Chilliwack firehalls 1, 2, 4, 5 & 6 responded to a reported fire in a barn located in the 11000 block of Carey Road.

When fire crews arrived on scene, they found a fully involved barn fire. Crews quickly established a water supply and knocked the fire down, preventing the fire from spreading to an adjacent vacant barn. The barn was completely destroyed.

An excavator was brought in to assist fire crews with the overhaul and extinguishment.

There were no firefighter injuries.

Fortunately, there were no animals or products in the barn.

The cause of the fire appears to be accidental and is under investigation by Chilliwack Fire Department.
