Fire fills sky with smoke on Abbotsford’s Salton Road

Condo fire at Forest Village on Tuesday morning

A fire at a condo building on Salton Road has filled the area with smoke.

Fire crews are reportedly on scene at the three-story Forest Village complex on 1909 Salton Road to battle the blaze.

According to witnesses, the fire began shortly after 8 a.m. on Tuesday (Nov. 22) with loud explosion sounds audible. The fire appears to have started on the third floor of the building.

The City of Abbotsford stated that those living in the 30 units, in the Dogwood building at 1909 Salton Road, impacted by the fire will not be able to return home on Tuesday night.

A reception centre has been set-up at New Life Christian Reformed Church at 35270 DeLair Road. Impacted residents are asked to check-in there and they can find emergency support services to coordinate support.

More details to come.
