Wildfires in Canada's Saskatchewan region have intensified, threatening over 400 homes and buildings. Authorities have issued evacuation orders affecting more than 9,000 people. The fires are spreading rapidly due to dry conditions.
According to Regina Leader-Post, the region's government declared a state of emergency. This declaration aims to address the escalating wildfires. It may lead to further evacuations, potentially impacting over 15,000 people in the coming days.
Recent reports from the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre indicate 21 active fires in Saskatchewan. Eight of these fires are currently uncontained. Wildfires in Canada began in early May, initially affecting Alberta.
