Watch: Canada burns red — Wildfires trigger mass evacuations, Manitoba declares state emergency

Manitoba has declared a province-wide state of emergency due to rapidly spreading wildfires, leading to the evacuation of over 17,000 people. Premier Wab Kinew has requested federal assistance, including military support, to aid in evacuation and firefighting efforts. The unprecedented scale of the fires, affecting multiple regions, is attributed to changing climate conditions, with significant forest area already scorched.
