The wildfire situation showed some improvement in British Columbia on Sunday, with more people being allowed to return home, but blazes continued to threaten communities farther north in Canada’s Northwest Territories.
About 240 wildfires were burning in Canada’s northern territory. So far, 296,678 hectares had been affected. “The team is doing some really good work on the ground there to reduce those risks and to support a safe return as soon as possible,” Westwick said. “It’s not over yet for us by a longshot,” she said. “It’s been a really long fire season and we’ve still got some to go before it’s over.”
The McDougall Creek wildfire, responsible for much of the destruction in the West Kelowna area, still burned out of control over 123 square kilometers .
