British Columbians are in a state of shock following the June 30 wildfire that destroyed about 90% of the Village of Lytton and killed at least two people, with more still unaccounted for.
After ‘celebrating’ three straight days of record setting heat, with Lytton recording temperatures apparently hotter than Las Vegas has ever reached, the village of about 250 souls burned to the ground.
It’s been reported that residents had only 20 minutes to flee before it was too late.
Thoughts and prayers are flying from the hearts and minds of all British Columbians because we all realize, especially those of us in rural areas, that what happened in Lytton could happen in our own communities.
