US EditionShelter-in-place advisory lifted for Mission, B.C., residents after derelict ferry fire
- The derelict BC Ferry Queen of Sidney caught fire around 2 a.m. On May 3 in the Fraser River near Mission, B.C.
- The fire occurred on a deteriorating vessel retired in 2000 that has sat in the river for over 20 years and prompted shelter-in-place orders due to hazardous smoke.
- Local firefighting crews and environmental authorities coordinated the response by monitoring the blaze without directly extinguishing it to avoid contaminating the water, while also notifying several organizations, including the Coast Guard.
- City updates reported the fire remained active but reduced in intensity by 9:30 a.m., with residents advised to stay indoors and the RCMP leading a cause investigation without signs of arson.
- The incident underscored ongoing removal efforts by Mission authorities and suggested prolonged smoke emissions could persist, with further updates promised as the investigation continues.
