Nova Scotia Wildfires Force Thousands to Evacuate and Threaten Boston with Smoke

Thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes in Nova Scotia, Canada, due to wildfires that have destroyed at least 10 structures. The region has seen over 100 more wildfires than last year, fuelled by drier than normal conditions. Canada's western provinces have also grappled with dry weather in May that has fuelled out-of-control fires. The early snow melt, warmer winter, and warmer temperatures earlier in the month of March have contributed to drawing out all the fuels out there, according to a fire prevention officer.
