Canada facing "extremely challenging" wildfire season, Blair says
Canada's Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair said on Monday that the country was facing an "extremely challenging" wildfire season, as several blazes burned across the country including in British Columbia, Alberta, and most recently, Nova Scotia.

Blair praised the work of firefighters and Canadian Armed Forces members on the ground for their work in fighting the fires, saying some had been working "non-stop" with redeployments from some areas to more active scenes.

Blair said he was "concerned" about the situation Canada was facing, adding that residents must listen to officials and evacuate if told to do so.
