Highway 1 From Yale to Boston Bar Still Closed Due to Ainslie Creek Fire
Crews are strengthening control lines as debris fall keeps Highway 1 shut and the Ainslie Creek wildfire grows to 67,707 hectares, officials said.
- Highway 1 remains closed from Toll Road in Yale to just south of Boston Bar due to the Ainslie Creek wildfire, estimated at 67,707 hectares as of Sunday morning.
- The fire continues burning above the Fraser Canyon near Spuzzum and Alexandra Bridge, where falling debris including trees and rocks creates ongoing hazards that periodically impact the highway.
- Following a decrease in fire activity Saturday night due to cooler temperatures and humidity, crews are working to strengthen control lines near Prospect Creek FSR and the 32 Road.
- Drivers heading north can travel Highway 1 as far as Yale, while Highway 8 and Highway 5 remain open on the fire's southeastern flank for alternative routing.
- An Area Restriction covers the entire fire zone with evacuation orders and alerts in effect; travelers should check DriveBC and EmergencyInfoBC for real-time updates on this active incident.
