Traffic was backed up both directions on Highway 19A just north of Qualicum Beach yesterday as firefighters and other first responders battled a structure fire in Dashwood.
Oceanside RCMP have told The NEWS there were no injuries reported in the incident, which was described as a barn fire.
The initial call came in to the Dashwood Volunteer Fire Department shortly before 2:45 p.m. Wednesday.
It eventually drew multiple fire departments, Oceanside RCMP and B.C. Ambulance Service members to a property in the 4000 block of Highway 19A, near the intersection of Barton Road.
After traffic was initially stopped in both directions to provide responders access, it resumed in a single-lane, alternating pattern. Extended delays continued.
