When a wildfire tore through the small town of Lytton in British Columbia on 30 June, it consumed almost every building in the village, left burned-out cars and trucks in its wake, and blackened an area approximately 9000 square feet in size, leaving two residents dead.
While the cause of the fire is still being investigated, investigators believe it was man-made. The fire erupted days after Lytton broke the record for Canada’s all-time highest temperature for three days in a row, reaching 121.1F (49.5C).
Amidst the tragic loss of life and devastating destruction, conspiracy theorists have been making their way to the community 260kms north east of Vancouver in search of evidence of more nefarious explanations.
Days after the blaze had been extinguished, a “shirtless grey-bearded man” broadcast himself wandering through the town giving a freewheeling speech on his Facebook Live account, VICE reported.
The man posited fact-free theories that it might have actually been a giant laser that burned down the village.
His suspicions were heightened after noticing that some trees burned down and others didn’t.
Cars had burned out that “aren’t really flammable”, and the fruit of cherry trees no longer looked tasty.
VICE said the shirtless man was a “semi-recognizable player in the Canadian conspiracy scene” who had also taken part in last year’s anti-mask movement.
At least one other “active figure” in the conspiracy theory community has travelled to Lytton to interview survivors.
The bizarre theory that wildfires are caused by “space lasers” has been popular on the fringes of the internet since at least 2018.
It was linked to the California fire in the town of Camp that year that killed 85 people, and also received attention during the deadly bushfires in Australia from 2019 to 2020.

Just because you're Paranoid doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you! ;)
It’s a better theory than “Climate Change.”
Based on the way Bagster acts on this discussion board, my bet is the guy in this story was Bagster.
Likely a PG&E paid nutcase to divert attention...
The beams need to be concentrated enough to set stuff on fire from such far distances. Stuff full of fuels and vapors would explode probably spectacularly in some cases.
One also has to ask whya town in BC Canadastan? Easier to test in the middle east somewhere.
Dont think I am gonna endorse this theory.
an hour from Canada’s Laura Lynn. many of you will know of Dr. Hoffe from Lytton.
following the fire segment, he talks extensively about the precise damage done by mRNA gene therapy:

Somebody crossed the beams
Vinkman...!!!!
They have Qtards in Canada now
You just posted the equivalent of Beetlejuice three times!
You have a point.
Anybody have the picture of Dr. Evil saying “laser” signaling quotation marks with his hands?
Antifa?
BLM?
Illegals?
Muslims?
So many choices of people who hate us.
I have been through some of the burned out towns in Oregon. Most of the homes had been burned to the ground but a few homes, along with a few stands of trees were untouched.
So, an area the size of a single suburban lot, or roughly the size of 3 or 4 middle class suburban houses. Not much of a wildfire. Before Dallas did away with wood shingle roofs, they'd lose more houses than that in a row from a single thunderstorm. And the local gas company has taken out bigger swathes with explosions caused by leaky pipes. (Although yesterday's explosion just took out one house and heavily damaged a few others.)
If the damaged area was that small, I'll buy the laser theory.
Where is the town of Camp that is referred to in the article? I remember the town of Paradise burning in 2018. Also,the unincorporated community of Concow and a big chunk of Magalia. It was called the Camp fire due to its start near Camp Creek Road, close to the community of Pulga. Cal Fire likes to simplify their fire names to one word that references a nearby landmark.
I also remember the liberal media lambasting Trump when he visited the area and referred to Paradise as “Pleasure”. At least he was close. I bet Yahoo News was one of the bunch making fun of him.
9000 square feet burned? The author is a moron.
