A wildfire just west of Lytton, B.C., has burned at least half a dozen homes but is spreading in the opposite direction of the village, officials said Friday. Sometimes there's no power here and we're running out of water on the east side of the Fraser River," he said during a briefing. It has burned at least 15 square kilometres since it broke out Thursday and is spreading in steep terrain on its western flank, the BC Wildfire Service said. Six homes destroyed, no injuries reported in 'daunting' wildfire west of #Lytton, #BC. And I know that this has been challenging on BC Wildfire Service crews, many who responded to last year's incident," Farnworth said.
