A large home on Abbotsford’s Eagle Mountain was the site of a structure fire which severely damaged the property.
It was reported on emergency scanners around 3:30 p.m., Feb. 8, on Jade Street. Flames were described as, “shooting out of the door.”
The fire appeared to have started in the garage, where a vehicle was completely destroyed. The garage walls also were extremely charred as a result of the flames.
Well over a dozen firefighters, with at least three fire trucks, were on scene using the street’s hydrants to extinguish the flames with fire-hoses.
A large amount of smoke was seen coming off the top of the building.
Emergency crews cordoned off the street, while a large group of concerned neighbours watched the efforts to put out the flames.
