Residents evacuated Canada’s Northwest Territories’ capital as a wildfire approached the city of 20,000, while firefighters battled a growing blaze in a British Columbia city. Thousands fled Yellowknife, guided by authorities amid the record-setting Canadian wildfire season. Airtankers kept escape routes open, and defenses were established to safeguard Yellowknife. In British Columbia’s West Kelowna, over 6 times growth in a fire led to evacuations and trapped responders. Indigenous communities also faced impacts. Canada has seen 5,700+ fires scorch 137,000+ sq. km. Trudeau addressed communication and price concerns, and evacuation efforts continue in other communities.
