Raging Wildfires Force Mass Evacuations in Manitoba and Saskatchewan Seeks U.S. Aid

As wildfires continue to spread across Canada, Manitoba has evacuated hundreds more residents, while Saskatchewan has formally requested assistance from the United States to combat the growing crisis.  

The wildfire near The Pas, Manitoba, has already burned over 20,000 hectares, forcing evacuations in the Regional Municipality of Kelsey. Meanwhile, Saskatchewan is battling a massive 18,000-hectare fire northeast of Prince Albert, prompting officials to seek additional resources.

Authorities urge residents in affected areas to stay informed and follow evacuation orders as the situation remains unpredictable.
