Chilliwack, BC, Canada – Fire at four story apartment building suppressed by sprinkler system; No injuries reported

February 12, 2017 viking210

With cold weather here and a Winter Storm Warning in effect the Chilliwack Fire Department is warning residents not to leave combustibles near heat sources after a fire Monday night. On Feb. 6 at approximately 9:45 p.m. the Chilliwack Fire Department was dispatched to a reported structure fire in the 8900-block of School Street.  On arrival crews saw smoke from a second-storey apartment window of a four-storey residential building.  Firefighters responded from Halls 1 and 4. The sprinkler system was primarily responsible for extinguishing the fire, minimizing fire damage to the tenant’s unit.  The tenant was home at the time of the fire. There were no firefighter or civilian injuries.  The cause of the fire appears to be accidental.  The Chilliwack Fire Department is reminding residents to keep combustibles at least one metre away from heat sources.
