Ottawa, July 19 /Xinhua/ — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Saturday called for “all-out efforts” to combat one of the most intense wildfire seasons in the country’s history.

In a statement published on social media, he expressed concern about the situation in the northwest of Ontario province, calling the fires there “especially devastating” and noting that residents of more than 10 settlements in the region had already been forced to evacuate.

According to the Prime Minister, more than 5,300 firefighters across the country are fighting the fire, with about 300 aircraft involved.

M. Carney also emphasized the importance of integrating modern tools in the fight against the crisis. Canada uses data processing systems, drones, new technologies, and advanced thermal imagers to support efforts to detect and extinguish fires in real time, he said.
