Canada Wildfires: Evacuations of Over 17,000, Manitoba Declares Emergency | Firstpost America | N18G

Canada is facing a severe wildfire crisis, with Manitoba declaring a state of emergency and ordering the evacuation of over 17,000 people from northern and eastern regions, including the city of Flin Flon. Military aircraft have been deployed to assist with evacuations, as flames—some over 120 feet high—rapidly approach remote communities. In Alberta, wildfires have forced the shutdown of oil operations, with companies like Cenovus Energy and Aspenleaf Energy scaling back staff and halting production. Fires near Chipewyan Lake and Swan Hills continue to burn out of control, prompting further evacuations. More than 134 wildfires are currently active across Canada, half deemed out of control. Officials warn the country is experiencing one of its worst fire seasons in years, driven by prolonged heat and dry conditions linked to climate change.
