Canada wildfires:
Canadian wildfires in British Columbia are to be
tackled by soldiers deployed to the region.
About 30,000 households have been ordered to
evacuate in the province, where nearly 400 wildfires
are raging.
Two huge fires in the Shuswap region merged
overnight, destroying blocks of houses and other
buildings.
To the south, travel to the waterside city of Kelowna
has been restricted, and smoke from nearby fires
hangs over Lake Okanagan.
