B.C.’s Wildfire Service says four unit crews, five initial attack crews, 19 Lytton First Nation firefighters, an incident management team and structure protection personnel are actively working to contain the fire
British Columbia’s Wildfire Service says the wildfire nearly two kilometres northwest of Lytton, B.C., has grown to 1,706 hectares.
John Haugen, acting chief of the Lytton First Nation, says about 30 evacuees were able to briefly return home in an effort to salvage food they left behind when the wildfire broke out Thursday. Haugen says hydro in the region isn’t expected to be restored for at least 10 days and because a timeline for when people may officially return to their properties has yet to be determined, rotting food would create another issue for residents.
