Mounties say a wildfire that has triggered evacuations near Lytton, B.C., was caused when a wheel fell off an RCMP trailer in what was a “tremendously unfortunate” incident.
Staff Sgt. Kris Clark said in a statement released Thursday that the “equipment failure” that sparked the Izman Creek fire, about 250 kilometres northeast of Vancouver, happened on Tuesday afternoon on Highway 12.
