An evacuation alert has been rescinded for about two dozen properties near a stretch of Highway 3 in British Columbia’s Interior, where a vehicle fire appeared to have spread to nearby grasses and started burning up a mountainside.
Karley Desrosiers with the BC Wildfire Service said the fire started around 1 a.m. Friday, and while the service was aware that a truck had caught fire along the highway south of Cawston, the connection between the vehicle and the wildfire hadn’t been officially confirmed.
