Evacuation centers open in Winnipeg as wildfires rage across Canada

Evacuation centers opened in Winnipeg as wildfires rage in the province of Manitoba, which declared a state of emergency late Wednesday.

At least 17,000 people in remote communities have been ordered to evacuate their homes, and many evacuees arrived in the provincial capital, Winnipeg. The province's Premier Scott Moe told the situation "very serious".  Across Canada, there are currently 163 active fires, with half of them considered out of control.
