Canadian wildfire forcing 20,000 to flee may signal 'new normal'

A fast-moving wildfire in British Columbia forced over 20,000 people to evacuate, prompting Premier David Eby to warn it may signal a 'new normal' for fire speed. The blaze outpaced official models, destroyed homes, and killed an 80-year-old woman. Officials have begun damage assessments, but the area remains unsafe with no timeline for residents to return.
