Colwood fire crews were called out to respond to reports of fire at Fort Rodd Hill Wednesday afternoon.Shannon Secuur says she was at the Esquimalt Lagoon and people at the beach were watching the fire grow “bigger and bigger.”“It was Fort Rodd Hill property looks like it started just kind of on the foreshore up into the base of Fort Rodd Hill there on that property line,” Erwin said. “Upon initial arrival, I want to say we saw roughly a fire that may have been 100 feet by 150.
Erwin said the cause of the fire is not yet known, but since there was no lightning he can rule that out as a cause. He says there were no injuries due to the fire. Erwin says he is grateful people called 911 as quickly as they did, so that crews could get out right away to fight the fire.
