Quebec affected by impressive fires

acres of forest have been swallowed by the fires, in Quebec (Canada), since Friday, June 2. The province is facing about 100 fires. Flames several meters high ravage everything in their path. A frightened resident filmed herself fleeing her home. In front of her, a sky reddened by the immense fire. Everywhere in the villages, the siren sounded. A total of 11,000 residents were evacuated as a precaution.

Reinforcements called

“Fire crosses the road”, explains a resident, who is one of the last to have left his house. In just a few hours, smoke invaded all the streets of a Quebec neighborhood. No more cars are on the roads. Seen from the sky, the fire looks like a monster, in the words of a pilot. For the moment, 400 firefighters are mobilized, but reinforcements must arrive from other regions in the coming hours.
