Fire crews are responding to a fire in a forested area along Highway 1 in Abbotsford.

The fire is in the trees at Peardonville, in the centre median. Crews are working on the blaze, and traffic has become congested in both the east and westbound lanes.

Witnesses have reported that the fire is at the scene of a homeless camp that has been in the median, and that a tent was seen on fire.

More to come.
