Chilliwack – Early Saturday morning (@3:30AM) on October 23, 2021 and again early Monday morning (@2AM) on October 25, the Chilliwack Fire Department responded to structure fires in the 9500 block of Robson Street and 45000 block of Wellington Avenue.
Approximately 20-25 firefighters respectively from Chilliwack fire halls 1, 4 and 6 responded to each of the incidents.
When firefighters arrived, they found vacant residential houses with minor fires and smoke showing from each of the structures.

No one was hurt.
These fires were deliberately set and are under investigation by Chilliwack Fire Department and RCMP fire investigators.
