Assistant Fire Chief Krista Minar said Chilliwack firefighters assisted the Popkum Fire Department, which is leading an investigation into the fire. RCMP also attended the scene. Video shared on social media by Stéphane R. Hébert, who was passing by at the time, shows thick black smoke rising into the air and a motorhome fully engulfed in flames near fuel pumps. "We changed lanes to be as far away from it as possible because it appeared to be burning quite close to the propane tank," Hébert told CBC News. "We were concerned that it might explode and so we wanted to get past it as quickly as possible." CBC News has reached out to the Fraser Valley Regional District for details on the extent of the damage and whether there is any ongoing risk to the area.

A bike tire is seen in this stock image. (Milada Vigerova/ A senior cyclist was struck and killed by a pickup truck in the Vancouver Island community of Nanoose Bay on Friday, according to police. The Oceanside RCMP says first responders were called to Marina Way near Carmel Place around 10:50 a.m. after a collision involving multiple cyclists and a Ford pickup truck. Two cyclists were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to police. A third died at the scene. Police say the deceased is a 79-year-old man from Qualicum Beach. 'While all of the contributing factors into this collision are still being determined, the initial investigation indicates that the pickup truck entered onto Marina Way from a side street and collided with the cyclists who were riding on Marina Way,' Mounties wrote in a news release Saturday. 'Drugs and alcohol on the part of the pickup truck driver and the cyclists have been excluded as contributing factors. The pickup driver remained on scene and is co-operating with the investigation.' RCMP collision analysts and the BC Coroners Service are investigating the crash, and police ask anyone with information or video to call 250-248-6111.
