Crews will face hot, dry conditions with the odd chance of rain today as they try to put down wildfires that have forced thousands out of their homes from Alberta to Manitoba.
Saskatchewan and Manitoba have declared provincewide states of emergency to deal with the fires, most of which are scorching pockets of rural communities in remote northern regions.
Manitoba has seen 17,000 residents forced out in recent days, including 6,000 in and around the northwest city of Flin Flon.
In Saskatchewan, more than 4,000 people have fled the flames, including more than 2,000 in Pelican Narrows.
