"Wildfires Rage Across Western Canada, Prompting Evacuations and Emergency Declarations"

Evacuation orders have been issued in Yellowknife, the capital city of Canada's Northwest Territories, as a massive wildfire threatens the area. Changing winds could push the fire closer to the outskirts of the city by the weekend. In addition, a state of emergency has been declared in Kelowna, British Columbia, where new fires have sparked evacuation orders. The severity of this year's Canadian wildfire season, exacerbated by climate change and drought, has led to over 1,000 active fires across the country. Dry conditions and high temperatures have contributed to the intensity of the fires.
