Thousands of Canadian residents are evacuating their homes, as the country battles its worst wildfire season on record.
TRANSCRIPT
Canada's worst-on-record wildfire season continues to rage, as thousands of residents have rushed to evacuate their homes. Evacuating Yellowknife resident Paul Falvo says that with limited options to leave as the fire approached, he and his family were lucky to board a commercial flight. In a statement, Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge demanded Meta lift its ban, saying it is completely unacceptable.
Canada has seen a record number of wildfires this year, with more than 5,700 fires burning more than 137,000 square kilometres, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre.
