Canadian wildfire that forced 20,000 to flee may signal ‘new normal’

A wildfire near Summerland in British Columbia forced more than 20,000 people to flee their homes and resulted in a death, prompting Premier David Eby to warn that the fire's speed may represent a new normal. Officials are conducting damage assessments, while major routes like Highway 97 remain closed due to safety concerns from erratic winds. The province plans to review wildfire planning and building standards.
