Thousands of people in St. John’s have been told to be ready to flee at a moment’s notice, as rapidly deteriorating wildfires in Newfoundland and Labrador threaten urban centres.
Crews in the province’s capital are employing water bombers to slow the growth of raging flames near the Trans-Canada Highway, but the fire remained out of control late Wednesday, with at least 20,000 residents facing possible evacuations.
