Saskatchewan premier updates public on devastating wildfires

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe will provide a wildfire update Saturday afternoon as thousands have been displaced by the ongoing blazes. Between 10,000 and 15,000 residents have been evacuated from 33 communities due to the wildfires, with only three of 24 active fires contained as of Saturday morning. Financial assistance for evacuees has been increased. The province declared a state of emergency, and this year's 251 wildfires far exceed the five-year average.
