Canadian fire crews battle blazes in western province of Alberta



Rain and cooler weather are expected to bring some relief to the western Canadian province of Alberta as fire crews battle more than 100 wildfires that have forced nearly 30,000 people from their homes.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith declared a state of emergency in the province at the weekend as a result of the blazes.
As of Monday morning, 105 fires were still burning, and 27 were classified as out of control, according to the Alberta Wildfire tracker. The agency said a day earlier that nearly 80 firefighters from other provinces had arrived in Alberta to help battle the blazes. Al Jazeera’s Cara Legg reports.
