Canada faces worst wildfire season in its history
There are currently 413 active forest fires
Around 26,000 people are under evacuation orders across Canada. “The distribution of fires from coast to coast this year is unusual. At this time of year, fires typically only occur on one side of the country at a time, most often in the west," said Michael Norton, an official with Natural Resources Canada.
Fires are burning in almost all Canadian provinces and territories. Flames have spread rapidly in eastern Canada and have forced evacuations in the Atlantic province of Nova Scotia, as well as coastal Quebec.
“In the last 20 years, we have never seen such a large area burned so early in the season,” said Yan Boulanger, a researcher at Natural Resources Canada. “Partly due to climate change, we are seeing trends toward increased area burned across Canada.
