40 MPH Winds Fan Canadian Wildfires

Daily Mail Composite 8/18/23

Canadian wildfires which have already forced tens of thousands of people from their homes and even jumped a lake amid gale-force winds are continuing to spread at an alarming rate with no signs of stopping. 

Hundreds of fires classed as currently 'out of control' - mostly larger than 1,000 hectares in scope - are raging across the North American nation, official trackers show. 

The Canadian Wildland Fire Information System (CWFIS) indicates that while hundreds of blazes which broke out over the past 24 hours are now 'under control', at least double the number have ignited to replace them.
