A wildfire has sparked outside of Lytton.

The BC Wildfire Service is responding to the Lower Arthur Seat wildfire located roughly 20 kilometres northeast of Lytton, a town that was destroyed by fire last summer.

The fire is approximately four hectares in size and is classified as out of control at this point in time.

BCWS said on Twitter air tankers are responding with helicopters and ground personnel en route.

It's burning at a rank three, meaning an organized flame front and occasional candling with a moderate rate of speed.

The fire is expected to be human caused.
