Evacuation orders are in place across parts of the Western U.S. and Southwest Canada as extremely hot and dry conditions fuel the spread of wildfires in the region. Evacuations are in place across Utah, where close to a dozen active wildfires have scorched more than 300,000 acres, as of Sunday evening. In Canada, there were more than 100 active wildfires in the country's British Columbia province, according to the British Columbia Wildfire Service. A state of emergency has been declared in the British Columbia province where the Bald Range wildfire has prompted more than 20,000 people to evacuate. "At every step, we're focused on ensuring that emergency crews have the tools they need to protect people," said British Columbia Premier David Eby on social media.
