Evacuees Flee Yellowknife As Fire Nears Northern City - Canada

Thousands of Yellowknife residents joined road convoys and stood with packed bags in snaking lines at the airport Thursday to flee a looming wildfire approaching the capital of the Northwest Territories. Baby supplies are seen ready for pickup as volunteers prepare for Yellowknife evacuees fleeing a wildfire threatening the territorial capital, in Valleyview, Alta., Thursday, August 17, 2023. Thousands of people fleeing a wildfire on the outskirts of Yellowknife, one of the largest cities in Canada's north, have crowded into the local airport and the road out of town. Hundreds have also lined up for emergency military evacuation flights. As of Thursday, the fire was within 16km (10 miles) of the city. The Northwest Territories declared a state of emergency late on Tuesday as it battles nearly 240 wildfires. Photo by Jason Franson/CP/ABACAPRESS.COM
