A big blaze ravaged a Canadian bridge this week, making the smoldering traverse appear like a scene straight out of a battle film.
The inferno erupted Thursday evening and prolonged via Friday morning, engulfing the out of date rail trestle bridge connecting Vancouver with Richmond in British Columbia, Canada.
Photographs obtained by TMZ confirmed the up-close devastation. Try the footage … as the fireplace was raging, thick plumes of black smoke rose up from the bridge, spreading like a mushroom cloud of types into the sky.
Video posted to X captured a motorist driving throughout the Oak Avenue Bridge close by – with the heavy smoke consuming the roadway and the passing automobiles.

The driving force turned on his wipers to wash off his windshield so he might see.
The Richmond Hearth and Rescue, assisted by the Vancouver Hearth Division, extinguished the flames after 8-plus hours.
