A state of emergency has been declared after thousands of people were forced to flee their homes as a fast-moving wildfire spread rapidly in western Canada, doubling in size since it was first detected on Friday. Police said one person has died in the Bald Range fire, which is burning across 53 sq miles (136 sq km) in Summerland and other areas of British Columbia, according to the BC Wildfire Service. Hundreds of wildfires have raged across Canada this summer, with nearly 200 burning in Ontario in July, sending air quality in Toronto to one of the worst levels in the world for a few days.
