Wildfire Damages In Lytton - British Colombia

A rail bridge damaged by fire is seen in Lytton, BC, Canada on Friday, July 9, 2021, after a wildfire destroyed most of the village on June 30. Lytton residents and journalists toured the devastated town on Friday, more than one week after residents fled for their lives as a wildfire surged through town, killing two people. The town on the banks of the muddy Fraser River is dramatically altered. Only a handful of structures remain, including the post office and church, and there is a dreadful symmetry to the grey ruins.
