stuck on that side of me and my daughter just got out, but we could see the house literally in fire as i was leaving. and i didn't turn the on the door. the blaze ignited a day after the town swell to through almost 50 degrees celsius. breaking candidate temperature record. emergency workers is searching for missing residents. as the smouldering town remains unsafe to enter. today our thoughts are mostly with families that are grieving that are facing terrible loss. but of course, we also have to reflect on the fact that extreme weather events are getting more frequent. the climate change has a significant role to play that the unprecedented hate wave and wildfires have left the country reeling and worried. this will become the new normal way. even if the world wasn't warming, the pacific northwest and stuff of canada would be having an exceptional way right

now. but it wouldn't be quite as severe. it wouldn't be blowing past existing records, or if it did, it would not be blown past them by very much. and so climate change less waves be much more severe than they otherwise would have been in a world without any change. more than 105 still burning across western canada threatening other towns. prime minister justin trudeau has conveyed an emergency response group and promises to help communities recover. we've been able to get in touch with our reporter and difficult communication conditions. e met a guy, he is in boston bar, canadian town, 30 kilometers south of lit, where the residents were evacuated. you've been covering this disaster for days. now. how has the situation developed in the past few hours? while it kind of gives you an idea of how difficult it is to be where we are geographically with sort of that cell phone and why fi connection issues?

that not only are people on the ground looking to cover this fire, having but personnel who are in charge of emergency response have had trouble with communication. linton is a community of $250.00 people, essentially 90 percent of that is gone. so schools have burned home, they have burnt ambulance, they sent hospitals, the fire has moved its way through the town and up to more forested hilde areas. so it is grown, but certainly the damage in human damage. it is already cause and the fatalities to have been confirmed. but i have sources that have responded on the ground saying that there is potentially more the number is difficult to confirm because the town is very hazardous at the moment what's left behind in the town. so corners
