Suffolk Fire and Rescue was called to an automatic fire alarm within a building belonging to Ipswich Museum on Charles Street on Saturday night.
Canadian Armed Forces, Manitoba Wildfire Service and Manitoba's Heavy Urban Search and Rescue Team have been using a military aircraft and helicopters to bring people to safety from the northern community in Manitoba."The scale and complexity of these air evacuations cannot be overstated — and neither can the unwavering dedication of the teams executing them," Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Saturday.
In Flin Flon, a city of 5,000 in Manitoba, only firefighters and support workers are left in the town.In Manitoba, there are a total of 25 active fires, according to the province's fire situation report, with 11 classified as out of control.Danielle Desjardins, a meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada based in Winnipeg, told the BBC that the forecast for both provinces is not promising.
While a cold front is expected to hit some parts of Saskatchewan, it will not bring relief to the regions where fires are burning."The bad news about this cold front is it's going to be windy," said Ms Desjardins, adding that the wind, coupled with the heat and lack of rain, are prime conditions for wildfire spread.
Smoke from the fires has also left an estimated 22 million Americans under air quality alerts this weekend.
In northern Minnesota, residents have been warned smoke could reach levels "unhealthy for everyone", while the rest of the state faces air quality warnings for sensitive groups. That alert runs through Monday evening."As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending," Musk wrote on X.
"The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government."The South African-born tech tycoon had been designated as a "special government employee" - allowing him to work a federal job for 130 days each year.
