"We鈥檙e on the road visiting clients and properties, but driving in BC is never dull. Just ahead of us, a semi-truck caught fire鈥攐nly about 20 minutes before our first stop in Spencer鈥檚 Bridge," said Freddy Marks on social media. "We had to turn back and re-plan our route. The most important thing is that we're safe and nobody (we can see) was hurt."
