huge fire devours Mount Underwood as 0:04 people in nearby Port Alurnie look on. 0:07 The city has declared a state of local 0:08 emergency in response to the fastmoving 0:11 blaze with an evacuation alert in effect 0:13 along with two other communities on 0:15 Vancouver Island on Canada's west coast. 0:18 I've lived in Port Royal Bernie since 0:19 1956 0:21 and this is the one of the biggest fires 0:23 we've ever seen in the valley. 0:26 In the space of 36 hours, the wildfire 0:29 burned more than500 hectares of woods in 0:32 what officials described as unusually 0:34 severe levels of fire behavior for the 0:36 region. At the other end of the country 0:39 on the Atlantic coast, outofcontrol 0:41 fires continue to rage near Halifax, 0:44 threatening the city of almost half a 0:45 million inhabitants. Local authorities 0:48 say 17 new blazes were reported just on 0:51 Wednesday. 0:52 It's going to be a long next few weeks. 0:57 There's no real rain in in the forecast. 0:59 Not certainly not in the orders of 1:00 magnitude that we would need in this 1:02 province. The province is a tinder box. 1:05 It's so easy for a fire to start right 1:08 now. 1:09 It's already Canada's second worst fire 1:11 season on record with about 7 1/2 1:13 million hectares of forest burnt about 1:16 the size of Ireland. More than 700 1:18 blazes are burning across the country 1:20 with more than 160 that are out of 1:23 control. In 2023, some 17.3 million 1:28 hectares were lost to wildfires in 1:30 Canada, an extraordinary toll that drew 1:32 global attention to the growing threats 1:34 of bush fires linked to climate change.

There's potentially up to or around a 0:25 100 structures, 100 homes that have been 0:27 lost due to the Kingston fire. A force 0:29 fire in central Newfoundland has 0:31 triggered an expanded evacuation 0:33 advisory for cabin owners. And in St. 0:35 John's, where the Patty's Pond fire 0:37 forced a partial evacuation in the town 0:39 of Paradise and put 20,000 others on 0:42 evacuation alert, illegal fires are 0:45 taking up precious time and resources. 0:50 The St. John's Fire Department already 0:51 busy enough with wildfire assistance. 0:54 With everything that everyone is going 0:56 through across the province, people are 0:57 losing their homes and for someone to 1:00 intentionally set a fire at a time when 1:02 there's a lot of anxiety out there right 1:04 now in the public. Um, it is 1:08 frustrating. 1:09 Police have charged a 20-year-old man. 1:11 He allegedly set several grass fires 1:13 downtown Tuesday night. He faces charges 1:16 of arson with disregard of human life 1:19 and three $50,000 fines. If you see 1:22 something suspicious, if you see it, 1:24 report it. Uh, don't resort to social 1:27 media. 1:27 In what's been a tense 12 days, 1:30 complaints over the new ban on ATVs in 1:32 wooded areas until at least Sunday today 1:35 tested the patience of political 1:36 leaders. 1:37 For those who were on the phone 1:39 yesterday, 1:41 talking crap, 1:43 talking crap to our staff, stop it. The 1:47 public safety minister reminding 1:48 residents this remains a state of 1:50 crisis. And Donna, just to give you a 1:53 sense of how many resources are engaged 1:55 in battling the multiple wildfires 1:57 throughout the province, the provincial 1:59 government says there are 26 2:01 firefighting aircraft in the air alone. 2:04 Donna. 2:05 All right, Heidi Petroic in Paradise, 2:07 Newfoundland
