Cooler weather has aided firefighters in making progress, but officials warn that the battle is not over. The government is deploying the military to assist with evacuations. Smoke from the fires has led to air quality warnings in southern British Columbia and Washington state. No deaths have been reported, but some firefighters have lost their homes.
