Canada's government has warned of a "long and challenging summer" ahead as it prepared military aircraft to help evacuate towns and fight more than 100 wildfires fueled by a record-breaking heat wave.
At least 152 fires were active in the western province of British Columbia, 89 of them sparked in the last two days, according to officials. Most were caused by lightning strikes.
The fires were north of the city of Kamloops, 350 kilometers northeast of Vancouver.
