Wildfires damage 230 Indigenous homes
Canada experienced widespread wildfires that destroyed approximately 230 homes in an Indigenous community near Vernon, about 440 kilometers northeast of Vancouver. The fire, which broke out on Friday and was driven by wind speeds of 115 km/h, caused extensive destruction and is known to be among the worst in recent years, with growing climate impacts and lengthening, more intense fire seasons. Just over five minutes were enough to evacuate some residents, amid warnings of deteriorating air quality and widespread smoke dispersion.
