Vancouver rundown for Monday, July 14, 2025.
Dozens of properties, campsites, and a popular
golf course are included in a wildfire evacuation
east of Princeton. The still small August Lake
wildfire is about two kilometers from the town
and burning out of control. The fire, which broke
out Saturday afternoon, is thought to be human
-caused. Meanwhile, B .C. wildfire crews have
been dealing with several other new fires that
started over the weekend, including ones in Manning
Park, Karameas, and the Cowichan Valley. Breaking
news! At least two air ambulances and several
ground crews have responded to a multi -injury
crash on Highway 1 in the Fraser Canyon. It happened
just before 4 p .m. Sunday afternoon north of
Boston Bar. Attending crews were also advised
of a new but small wildfire in that area. Other
news, a cyclist has been killed. Two others are
badly injured after being hit by a car during
the Gran Fondo event in Penticton. RCMP say it
happened when a driver's car struck a group of
cyclists on Sunday morning. Last year, a cyclist
died in the Okanagan Gran Fondo in what organizers
described as a non -event -related incident.
No one is seriously hurt, but first responders
used a chute to evacuate a WestJet plane at Vancouver
International on Saturday night. The flight suffered
a minor engine fire while coming into YVR from
Tampa. Close to 50 passengers slid down the chute
out of an abundance of caution. The forecast,
mostly sunny for Monday, windy at times. Inland
highs near 27 degrees. Tuesday, sunny and warmer.
Wednesday, more sunshine. For all the details
