Buildings, cars and trees are shown ablaze in footage taken by a resident fleeing a wildfire in the British Columbia village of Lytton. Flames tore through the settlement 153km (95 miles) north-east of Vancouver so fast that officials didn’t even have time to issue evacuation orders. Within hours, most of the village's buildings had been consumed by the inferno.
A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to help people who have lost their homes
