Cause of the fire is still under investigation
The Red Bridge in Kamloops, B.C., was destroyed by a fire on Tuesday night. The fire crews battled the blaze for hours, but could not save the historic bridge.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but it is believed to have started in the wooden trestlework of the bridge. The fire quickly spread to the rest of the bridge, and soon engulfed the entire structure.
The Red Bridge was a popular tourist destination and a vital link between the North Shore and the South Shore of Kamloops. The bridge was built in 1912 and was one of the oldest bridges in British Columbia.
The loss of the Red Bridge is a major setback for the community of Kamloops. The bridge was a beloved landmark and a symbol of the city's history. The city is now working to determine how to replace the bridge and restore the vital link between the North Shore and the South Shore.
