The person in critical condition was airlifted to hospital and the two others were transported by ground in stable condition, BCEHS said. WATCH | Motorhome engulfed in flames near fuel pumps as thick smoke rises: Gas station and motorhome fire near Chilliwack leaves 1 person in critical condition 2 hours ago Duration 0:26 A motorhome caught fire Saturday at a Shell gas station near Bridal Falls Road in Rosedale, B.C., sending flames and thick black smoke into the air. The fire spread to the fuel station and left one person in critical condition. Video captured by a passing driver shows the blaze up close. (Submitted by Stéphane R. Hébert) According to a statement from the Fraser Valley Regional District, the gas bar area of the Shell station at 53560 Bridal Falls Road was fully engulfed when fire crews arrived. A total of 33 firefighters from Popkum, Chilliwack and Agassiz departments were on scene. The fire was brought under control about an hour after crews arrived. The other buildings at the site that were not attached to the gas bar also sustained some damage, the regional district said. The site remains cordoned off for safety. 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." The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
