Wildfires continue to burn in British Columbia, Northwest Territories

Officials in western Canada are hoping to gain some ground on Sunday in their battle against raging forest fires. But hundreds of fires are still threatening communities throughout the region, with thousands of people forced out of their homes.

Officials are warning the worst of this wildfire crisis may not be over.

At last count, almost four hundred fires were burning in the forests of British Columbia, almost 160 of them out of control, many of them near communities like Kelowna.

Tens of thousands of people have been forced to evacuate.
