A wildfire cut Highway 1 through British Columbia’s southern Interior late Monday as a fire flared near the community of Spences Bridge — but conditions eased slightly overnight, allowing a pilot car to escort travellers through the area.
The B.C. Wildfire Service says the blaze is now a little less than one square kilometre in size and the cause is under investigation.
