Vancouver/Canada/IBNS: Hundreds of people were evacuated from a Western Canada village as fire broke out in addition to the unprecedented heat wave in the region, which led to record-breaking temperature for days.

The village of Lytton, which is 250 kilometers northeast of Vancouver, was evacuated on Wednesday night because of a fire that spread quickly.

The fire came a day after the village, in the province of British Columbia, set a record high temperature on Tuesday at 49.6 degrees Celsius.

"The fire situation is extremely dangerous right now. Emergency crews are doing everything they can to support the people of Lytton," British Columbia premier John Horgan commented on Twitter.

On Wednesday night residents of about 100 properties north of Lytton were ordered to be evacuated following the fire, said reports.
