British Columbia was under a province-wide state of emergency as firefighters waged an epic battle. West Kelowna Fire Chief Jason Brolund told a news conference that the fire “was exponentially worse than we expected.” Officials said Friday evening that about 19,000 people had left Yellowknife in less than 48 hours, with about 15,000 driving out in convoys and 3,800 leaving on emergency flights.
Trudeau praised firefighters, police, military personnel, the Red Cross and others who responded to this natural disaster and others this summer. Meta said it enabled its “safety check” program for users to let others know they were safe, while encouraging people to access information from official government agencies, emergency services and non-governmental organizations.
