Canadian firefighters wage epic battle to save communities after mass evacuations

Firefighters battling wildfires in British Columbia are trying to stop flames that swept through West Kelowna suburbs and forced the evacuation of Kelowna’s University of British Columbia campus. The capital of Canada’s Northwest Territories, meanwhile, has been transformed into a ghost town after nearly all the residents of the city of just over 20,000 fled another wildfire. British Columbia is under a province-wide state of emergency as firefighters wage an epic battle to save communities. There have been no reports of deaths but numerous structures have been destroyed.
