Wildfires have destroyed on remote community, according to Reuters, and are also posting a risk to territorial capital Yellowknife.
The FCDO said: “There are currently several wildfires across the Northwest Territories, due to which the territory has declared a territory-wide state of emergency.
“Evacuation orders have been issued in certain areas, including in Yellowknife, the Territory’s capital. Wildfires are highly dangerous and unpredictable.
