“Unprecedented” wildfires closing in on the capital of Canada’s Northwest Territories prompted citywide evacuations by land and sky Thursday, officials said.
Officials instructed residents of the highest-risk areas of Yellowknife – Ingraham Trail, Dettah, Kam Lake, Grace Lake and Engle Business District – to evacuate immediately, while others had until Friday afternoon to leave the city of about 20,000 people. The fire was about 10 miles out as the evacuation order was issued late Wednesday to Yellowknife and neighboring First Nations communities of Ndilo and Dettah.
“We’re all tired of the word unprecedented, yet there is no other way to describe this situation in the Northwest Territories,” Caroline Cochrane, premier of the Northwest Territories, said late Wednesday.

This is Alberta's fault they keep producing oil that is killing our planet. They are out of control and albertans are generally racist people. The canadian goverment needs to take control of that province and shut these heavy polluting companys down and re-educate the people !!!
This is probably the 15 huge wildfire Putin has orchestrated this year
So scary! My heart goes out to all those impacted. Stay safe/
The territory is even beautiful on fire
I pray for all people. Good, bad, mean, gentle
Stupid, ugly, hateful, lost
Greedy, Blessed, joyful, lost, poor, rich, and those who don't love God. It's hard to love God when you don't know Him. If you know Him well, share with every person you see, talk on the phone with, and especially the sad and the lost. Amen
God bless❤
God bless you all😊
Hope everyone on this platform has an emergency bag ready just in case..don't forget to have cash small bills too…Be safe ❤ family
