#GLOBALNEWS Video captures terrifying drive on busy Coquihalla Highway as BC wildfire rages

Andrea Chambers was on her way home on Wednesday and drove the Coquihalla before it was closed. Video she shared with Global News shows flames and dark smoke ahead of her, but as the drive continues, red and orange flames appear on both sides of the highway.

“Originally, when I saw the fire, it was up to the left,” Chambers told Global News.

“So I thought it was just up on the mountain, like on the hillside to the left, but then as I went further on the road, it ended up where it was actually right in front of me.”

The Mine Creek wildfire was mapped at 1,900 hectares on Thursday morning and considered out of control. Global’s Taya Fast reports.
