now to that massive fire that saw a piece of Richmond history go up in a towering plume of smoke these images of flames devouring the old Trestle Bridge were captured by people looking on in disbelief the smoke so dark so thick cars came to a standstill on the Oak Street Bridge before it was finally shut down some hot spots are still flaring up 12 hours after the industrial fire broke out it was a tough one Crews battled The Blaze through the night today they are looking at what happened Gabriella Panza belany joins us live from the scene what's the latest Gabriella well as you can see behind me fire crews are still working to spraying hot spots that have still been popping up almost 24 hours after the fire started it's quiet now but last night this area was plumed in Smoke as the structure behind me burned large black clouds filled the air as the fire raged on until this morning the whole bridge is on fire it's going to burn till morning these dramatic images from SE doers who got very close to the Flames the massive fire started just after 8 Thursday night me and the family were staying at the river rock we were over uh enjoying the pool activities and stuff and then um before we knew it there was just some big old Dark Cloud of smoke I saw this big fire I'm like um I was just it was just crazy a warehouse and the old marpole rail Bridge were destroyed by The Inferno more than nine Crews battled to put it out until 5: in the morning challenges obviously at night there's an access uh issue it's dark it's dangerous it's close to the water and the fire was burning really very hot and um it's difficult to control that kind of a fire even after it was under control a few hot spots continued flaring up later in the day the structure of The Trestle it's it's built by Uh Wood um and that wood is uh very old and it's typically soaked in chemicals of course to preserve it and that uh helps fuel the fire the smoke so black so thick so towering it could be seen across Metro Vancouver some getting too close for comfort others lining up along the Fraser River thing you never see and so the kids were kind of curious and it's it's I think they're going to remember it as fire of 2024 you know the cause is still under investigation but the fire department says it's exceptionally rare for a structure like The Trestle to catch fire now the good news no one was injured the smoke was so thick last night an air quality advisory was issued by Metro Vancouver now today that advisory was lifted but officials were saying for residents to prepare for to experience more hazy conditions and for the smell of residual smoke to still be in the air now the next steps are for cleaning up debris out of the Fraser River back to you mij Jang thank you Gabriella
