- British Columbia declared a state of emergency after a fast-moving wildfire forced thousands of residents to flee their homes
- The fire has doubled in size since it was first detected on Friday and remains out of control as of Monday
- Officials in British Columbia are still working to determine how many homes were destroyed by the blaze
Why it matters: A single fire has displaced thousands of British Columbia residents in roughly three days while remaining fully uncontained. With officials unable to yet quantify home losses, the full scope of the destruction is still emerging as the blaze continues to spread.
