ABC News from Australia published a great documentary about Canada's worst wildfire season earlier today. It's a great in-depth look at the effort to combat wildfire & the impacts it has had on local communities from an International lens.

While Canadian broadcasters are currently busy posting important updates, this gives better context of all the hard work & hardships people are facing.

The wildfires in British Columbia are spreading, resulting in the evacuation order being expanded to cover 35,000 people, with a further 30,000 under an evacuation alert.

So far in 2023, the Canadian wildfire season has burned more than 140,000km² of land. To put that into perspective, that's roughly the size of the State of New York.
