Wildfire Forces Mass Evacuations in BC | Sacramento News
Description
Over 20,000 people in western Canada were evacuated as a wildfire in British Columbia roared toward towns near Okanagan Lake, already destroying homes and moving faster than ever recorded. Emergency crews scrambled, even forcing officials like Erick Thompson to flee his own command center to save his family. This isn’t the first time Canada’s faced such devastation—smoke has drifted into the U.S., prompting presidential threats of tariffs. With 1,600 wildfires annually in B.C. alone, residents are racing to pack up, rescue pets, and help neighbors, all while deciding whether to stay and fight or flee before the flames catch up.
