The British Columbia government pledged to rebuild the community of Lytton Thursday, as it confirmed the majority of the village had been destroyed by a devastating wildfire.

"I have reports that most homes and structures in the village, as well as the ambulance station and the RCMP detachment, have been lost," Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth said.'

"I also understand that some residents have not been accounted for, and their location is currently being investigated by the RCMP."

At least 1,000 people had been evacuated from Lytton and the surrounding areas, Farnworth said.

B.C. Premier John Horgan said the cause of the fire remained under investigation.
