At least 4,000 people have fled their homes due to wildfires in Canada.

In Canada, at least 4 thousand people were evacuated due to forest fires in the province of Saskatchewan. This was announced on Wednesday, May 28, by the CBC News channel.

All residents of the small settlement of Pelikan-Narrows had to leave their homes, the TV channel clarified. However, due to raging forest fires, some roads were blocked, making evacuation more difficult.

Some highways are completely closed, while others are generally operational, but are periodically closed due to smoke or fire.
