"The Western Canadian province of Saskatchewan said on Sunday it was evacuating an additional 8,000 people from the far north of the province, as wildfires continue to spread and threaten homes.
The provincial government said that as of Saturday there were 114 active fires in the province. More than 5,000 residents have already been moved out of the area in the past week.
The latest evacuations are around the town of La Ronge, roughly 600 km (370 miles) north of the provincial capital, Regina."
