Wildfires in western Canada have forced some 29,000 people to evacuate their homes as officials warned Sunday that conditions remained volatile.
Threat level: Officials in Alberta declared a provincewide state of emergency as more than 100 fires burned in the province over the weekend.
State of play: Firefighters in Alberta were tackling 106 wildfires as of late Sunday, according to the latest provincial government data.
Meanwhile, the B.C. Wildfire Service tweeted that firefighters were responding to “multiple incidents” in northeastern British Columbia over the weekend.
Between the lines: Multiple studies show human-caused climate change is a key driver behind increased wildfire risk and that heat waves are more likely to occur, be more intense and last longer due to this.
