Spokane, Washington — More than 40 large wildfires are burning in the West, fueled by severe drought, as over 100 blazes scorch parts of western Canada. And in British Columbia, Canada, which borders Washington, the Bald Range Fire burned out of control, nearly doubling overnight as residents raced out. "Aerial response teams were converted to emergency evacuation personnel," said Ravi Parmar, minister of forests of British Columbia. British Columbia declared a province-wide state of emergency Saturday as more than 100 wildfires burned across the province amid windy weather and prolonged drought.
