Highway 3A was closed due to a fire near the Beasley Bluffs west of Nelson.
An assessment is in progress.
Crews were detouring traffic via Blewett Road.
The highway reopened around 6:30 pm.
The fire is now contained and being mopped up.
It was under a Fortis BC line and power was out in Nelson and surrounding areas but it has since been restored.
