Wildfires are ravaging Saskatchewan and Manitoba, prompting states of emergency and evacuations for thousands, including all 5,000 residents of Flin Flon. With hot, dry weather expected to continue, air quality alerts are issued across Canada and parts of the U.S. Midwest, with smoke impacting areas as far away as Chicago. Despite a cold front bringing some rain to Saskatchewan, strong winds threaten to exacerbate the wildfire situation, marking one of the worst seasons in recent years, particularly for Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
