A wildfire burning less than two kilometres from Lytton, B.C. has ballooned to 1,500 hectares in size and destroyed at least six residential structures, according to local First Nation officials.

Lytton First Nation Deputy Chief John Haugen said the number of destroyed structures could be as high as nine. “It’s devastating and we have to be mindful about how we approach them and confirm those losses,” he said in a Friday news conference. “It’s been really daunting.

Sometimes there is no power here, and we are running short of water on the east side of the Fraser River, and without the ferry and service, it’s harder to get resources to the west side to assist with the fire.” The destruction comes just over a year after a wildfire swept through the community of Lytton, virtually razing it to the ground and killing two people.

Cleanup, debris removal and archaeological work is ongoing, but reconstruction is not expected to begin in a substantive way until September. Read more: B.C.
