Canadian Provinces Battle Wildfires: BC Burns, Quebec Saves Hydro Plants.

Wildfires continue to spread in Canada, with 2,392 fires and 4.4 million hectares burned so far this year, 15 times the annual average over the last decade. In British Columbia, 2,500 people were evacuated from Tumbler Ridge, while in Quebec, efforts to control blazes that have sent smoke billowing across North American cities are underway. The situation is stretching resources and fuelling concerns about the consequences of climate change.
