A 68-year-old woman was airlifted to hospital after a fire in an RV park in Abbotsford on Monday night (March 2).

Const. Paul Walker, media officer with the Abbotsford Police Department, said patrol officers were travelling west on Fraser Highway near Ross Road at about 7:15 p.m. when they saw a large plume of smoke.

When they arrived in the area, they located a trailer fully engulfed in flames at the Aloha RV Park and Campsite at 29666 Fraser Highway.

Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS) and BC Emergency Health Services also responded after receiving reports of a trailer on fire following an explosion.

The woman who was airlifted was suffering from severe burns, Walker said.

He said the cause of the fire has not yet been determined and police are working with AFRS to investigate if there are any suspicious circumstances.
