NBC News's is reporting on the major wildfires impacting the Western United States. 

Wildfires are raging across the western United States and Canada, forcing thousands to evacuate their homes. In British Columbia, the Parker Lake wildfire alone has burned over 6,100 acres, prompting immediate evacuation orders for nearby communities like Fort Nelson. Alberta is also heavily affected, with major fires causing poor air quality and evacuation alerts for towns such as Fort McMurray. The wildfires are fueled by a combination of high temperatures, ongoing drought conditions, and dry brush, leading to extreme fire behavior and significant air quality concerns across the region.
