Canada is battling a devastating wave of wildfires that has forced the evacuation of over 31,000 people from towns and rural communities nationwide, according to officials cited by Gazeta Sinjali.
Currently, there are more than 200 active fire zones, with half of them out of control. The blazes have scorched over 2.2 million hectares of land so far, making it one of the most severe wildfire seasons in recent history.
Worst-Hit Regions
- Saskatchewan and Manitoba are among the hardest-hit provinces.
- Both have declared a state of emergency in response to the rapidly deteriorating situation.
Emergency Response
Firefighting units, supported by federal resources, are working around the clock to contain the fires and safeguard vulnerable communities. Authorities continue to urge residents in high-risk areas to follow evacuation orders promptly.
This environmental crisis underscores the growing impact of climate-related disasters across North America, as extreme heat and dry conditions exacerbate the spread of wildfires.
