The Lytton First Nation in British Columbia that was devastated four years ago by a wildfire has ordered that some of its reserves be evacuated again.

The First Nation has issued an evacuation order for two sparsely populated reserves due to immediate danger posed by the uncontrolled wildfire burning nearby, about 10 kilometres south of the Village of Lytton.
