Lytton and the district are seeking general and special damages and costs related to everything from the emergency response to the investigation of the fire’s cause and the rebuilding of the village. Representatives of CN and CP declined to comment on the case, while Transport Canada did not immediately comment.
It says CP ought to have known conditions were unsafe and failed to install or properly maintain a spark arrestor system and other mechanical means to prevent an unreasonable fire risk.
