According to the Associated Press, the Canadian military was on standby on the 10th local time, preparing to help put out deadly wildfires in the country's British Columbia province. Earlier, a woman had died in the disaster, and more than 20,000 people were evacuated from their homes overnight. Wildfires spread rapidly in British Columbia, Canada, and the local government declared a state of emergency throughout the province on the 8th. Evacuation orders covered various regions such as Summerland and Peachland, where more than 20,000 people fled overnight. The Associated Press said in its latest report on the 11th that the wildfire is known as the “Dushan wildfire” and has not been brought under control. The relevant agencies in British Columbia said that the area of the fire had expanded to about 60 square miles. The Associated Press reports that Canadian Defense Secretary David McGinty said that the Canadian armed forces maintain close ties with provincial and federal government officials, and that if British Columbia formally requests assistance, the Canadian armed forces are ready.
