On June 9, 2025, around 5:30 p.m. Squamish RCMP and Squamish Fire Rescue were notified of smoke on the hillside at the end of Tantalus Road. Due to dry conditions the fire spread rapidly and continues to burn.
Squamish RCMP is working closely with BC Wildfire Service and Squamish Fire Rescue.
The fire is believed to have originated around 4:00 p.m. on a bike trail at the end of Tantalus Road. Based on initial information, investigators suspect the fire was human-caused, however, the exact source and circumstances remain under investigation.
We believe there were individuals on the trail around the time the fire started who may have information, says, S/Sgt. Gareth Bradley, Squamish RCMP. We encourage anyone who was out walking or hiking in the area to contact police, even if you think what you saw isn’t important. Sometimes the smallest detail can make a big difference.
