Military aids evacuations as Canada wildfires expand eastward

Kiskatinaw fire located 60 km south of Dawson Creek, which has burned more than 20,000 hectares and sparked evacuation orders for small communities near it.

Canadian Military used aircraft to help evacuate members of a remote Indigenous group Monday, as wildfires spread eastward from the Prairies region and into the country's most populous province Ontario. Currently the fires are raging in the province's sparsely populated northwest corner and have so far not threatened the densely inhabited south.
