There are more than 150 fires in Quebec, 80 of which are out of control.
The most serious fires are in the North Shore and Abitibi-Temiskaming regions, where thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes.
Authorities have declared a local state of emergency and requested assistance from the Canadian Armed Forces. Rain is expected in the coming days, which could help limit the fire’s spread.

If you do not live in the affected area, please avoid unnecessary travel to it and do not walk in the woods. Smoke from wildfires can affect air quality and cause respiratory problems.
