The Sea-to-Sky Highway remained closed northbound at Horseshoe Bay on Monday, as crews tackled a brush fire in the hills above the community, but has since been reopened.
West Vancouver Fire and Rescue said the fire was burning near Whyte Lake. By Tuesday, the BC Wildfire Service listed the fire as “under control,” and said it had been reduced from three to one hectares in size.
The BC Wildfire Service said it was assisting municipal crews with multiple aircraft as well as two initial attack crews and two response officers.
