British Columbia declares emergency as wildfires force 20,000 to evacuate #worldnow

British Columbia declared a state of emergency on Saturday as a fast-moving wildfire forced more than 20,000 people to evacuate communities in western Canada, destroying homes as it raced toward towns along Okanagan Lake. Premier David Eby announced the emergency as more than 100 wildfires burned across the province, nearly half of them out of control amid hot, windy weather and prolonged drought. The entire community of Summerland, home to about 12,000 people, was ordered to evacuate overnight, along with about 8,000 people in and around nearby Peachland. Officials had not determined how many homes were destroyed. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
