Jordan Evoy's escape from wildfires raging in Canada's far north was the 'scariest moment' of his life as flare-ups closed roads, forcing him to backtrack to catch a military flight as part of the Northwest Territories' largest ever evacuation.
Fort Smith, Canada is seen during wildfires on August 13, 2023 in a handout photo.
For many in smaller communities, it was the second time in recent months that residents were forced to leave their homes. "We find ourselves in a crisis situation and our government is using every tool available to assist," said Shane Thompson, territorial environment minister. "Flames were jumping over my truck" and he said he worried its tires would melt in the heat."The asphalt was on fire.""There was no cell service, so I had no way of knowing where I was," said Evoy."My heart breaks for the people of the Northwest Territories, who are dealing with devastating wildfires," Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
