Fire destroys historic Kamloops bridge

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 19 Sep, 2024 03:23 PM
  • Fire destroys historic Kamloops bridge

An early morning fire has destroyed a historic bridge in Kamloops. 

The blaze is believed to have started in the middle of city's Red Bridge at around 3 a-m, eventually engulfing the wooden structure that had two lanes for vehicles.

The nearly 90-year-old bridge has since collapsed into the South Thompson River.

The blaze follows another fire on the bridge early Tuesday, and fire crews say they're in the early stages of their investigation.
