More than 2,000 B.C. Hydro customers in Mount Pleasant were also without power due to the fire, said spokesperson Mora Scott. She said the power outage occurred around 8:30 p.m.
Scott said B.C. Hydro crews are on scene but are unable to get close enough to fix the outage due to the extreme heat. She there is no estimate as to when power will be back on, as crews must wait until it is safe.
Several residents have posted on social media reporting a strong smoky smell.
