About 25,000 people have been evacuated from Alberta, Canada, as wildfires rage across the region, which were probably intensified by the unusually hot weather and high winds, CNN reported. Alberta reported nearly 110 active wildfires, 36 of which are out of control, emergency service officials told Reuters. Meanwhile, a government spokesperson said that a provincial state of emergency had been declared following "unprecedented" wildfires.
