Summary
On October 27, 2026, a family home on Weddle Avenue in Abbotsford was destroyed by a fire attributed to a masked arsonist. Superintendent Christine McDonald confirmed that a suspect was seen spreading a form of accelerant at the scene before fleeing in a vehicle.

The incident resulted in 4 people being injured, primarily due to smoke inhalation. A 17-year-old male was later taken into custody and charged in connection with the blaze.
