    Three Homes Evacuated As Precaution After Landslide In Chilliwack, B.C.

    The Canadian Press, 18 Feb, 2017 02:04 PM
      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.
