A B.C. wildfire is continuing to burn, out of control, near the village of Lytton, where, almost five years ago, a similar blaze destroyed much of the community.

Emergency officials say the Saw Creek wildfire has triggered dozens of evacuation orders and watches in the area, affecting more than 230 properties, while also shutting down a more than 115-kilometre stretch of Highway 1.
