Wildfires Near Labrador City Force Evacuations | Vancouver News

Two wildfires near Labrador City have forced 120 people from their homes, with thick smoke reducing visibility on the Trans-Labrador Highway.

Evacuees are being registered with the Red Cross at Menihek High School, and officials urge continued preparedness as evacuation orders may expand. Despite the tension, residents trust the firefighting teams. The province currently faces 24 active wildfires, mostly in Labrador, with weather showing potential for showers later Tuesday that could help contain the flames. Smoke remains visible, and air quality updates are pending.
