The fire season in the Northern Hemisphere is getting worse… One of the largest towns in Canada’s far north is being evacuated with warnings an out-of-control wildfire could hit by the weekend. The 20,000 residents of Yellowknife have been told to get out today – and hundreds of people in smaller towns have already been airlifted out of the area by the military. Fingers crossed they are safe… This has been Canada’s worst-ever fire season, with nearly 5,500 blazes and an area roughly the size of Greece burnt out. It comes as state officials in Hawaii warn that about 1,300 people are still unaccounted for a week after the Maui fires. US President Joe Biden and his wife Jill will travel there on Monday – his team says he hasn’t gone sooner because he didn’t want to get in the way of recovery efforts.
