The latest fires in Canada, which have seen 20,000 people told t evacuate their homes in the city of Yellowknife, come two months after an outbreak of fires in the country engulfed North American cities including New York (pictured). Residents of Canada’s most northerly city have been told to evacuate as wildfires spread through the northwest territories. Other local communities in northern Canada have already suffered mass destruction as the wildfires spread throughout the region. A family escaping from Hay River said their car began melting around them as they drove away after an evacuation order was issued on Sunday. Canada has suffered far greater devastation from wildfires this year than usual.
