The Deadly Heat Wave Is Triggering Dozens Of Wildfires In Western Canada

The British Columbia Wildfire Service is responding to multiple fires in the province this week. Two wildfires pictured here, the Long Loch wildfire and the Derickson Lake wildfire, are in close proximity and estimated to be 740 acres combined in size.

The town of Lytton, British Columbia, caught fire and was completely evacuated Wednesday, just one day after setting a new all-time Canadian heat record with a high of 121 degrees Fahrenheit.
