Three homes evacuated as precaution after landslide in Chilliwack, B.C.
CHILLIWACK, B.C.—Three Chilliwack, B.C., homes have been evacuated as a precaution after a landslide happened on a local mountain.
The City of Chilliwack says no one was hurt as a result of the slide on Vedder Mountain Saturday morning.
Fire crews evacuated the homes in the direct path of the slide as a precaution because there are still large loose rocks posing a risk of another slide.
A nearby road has also been closed to traffic as a safety measure.
The city says geotechnical engineers are surveying the site, and it’s unclear what triggered the landslide.
