Massive Fire Destroys Canadian Bridge, Stunning Photos Show

A gigantic blaze ravaged a Canadian bridge this week, causing the smoldering traverse to look like a scene straight out of a war movie.

The inferno erupted Thursday night and extended through Friday morning, engulfing the rail trestle bridge, which was obsolete and connected Vancouver with Richmond in British Columbia, Canada.

Photos obtained by TMZ showed the up-close devastation.  Check out the footage … as the fire was raging, thick plumes of black smoke rose up from the bridge, spreading like a mushroom cloud of sorts into the sky.

Video posted to X captured a motorist driving across the Oak Street Bridge nearby – with the heavy smoke consuming the roadway and the passing vehicles.

The driver turned on his wipers to clean off his windshield so he could see.

The Richmond Fire and Rescue, assisted by the Vancouver Fire Department, extinguished the flames after 8-plus hours.
