WorldWestern US wildfires force tens of thousands to evacuate

Wildfires are sweeping through the western United States and Canada, driving tens of thousands from their homes while toxic smoke spreads across the continent. In Spokane, Washington, Brian Davis lost the home his family had occupied for 18 years, along with treasured belongings and two pets, in what officials call the region’s worst destruction on record. Fires in places including California’s Big Sur have also triggered mass evacuations.
