A wildfire burning roughly 10 kilometres east of Port Alberni on Vancouver Island has led to the shutdown of Highway 4.

The Cameron Bluffs wildfire is currently burning out of control and is an estimated 80 hectares.

The shutdown of Highway 4 concerns officials, as it is the only major route connecting Port Alberni with the rest of Vancouver Island, outside of logging roads.

“Quite a significant amount of people rely on travelling that road daily. It is a very important highway for us,” said Sharie Minions, Port Alberni mayor.

Highway 4 is also vital for other Vancouver Island communities for travel through Port Alberni such as Tofino and Ucluelet. Christa Dao reports.
