The Red Bridge in Kamloops, B.C., was destroyed by a fire on Tuesday night. The fire crews battled the blaze for hours, but could not save the historic bridge.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but it is believed to have started in the wooden trestlework of the bridge. The fire quickly spread to the rest of the bridge, and soon engulfed the entire structure.
