Evacuation orders have been issued for more than 5,000 people in British Columbia and Manitoba as wildfires continue to rage near northern communities in both provinces on May 13.

Roughly 90 fires are burning across the country, including more than 30 classified as out of control, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, but only two fires have sparked evacuation orders so far.
