Firefighters are reporting making progress battling wildfires in a region of British Columbia where homes have been destroyed or damaged in recent days. The good news on Sunday came as thousands of people across the province have fled their homes. Firefighters also worked to keep blazes at bay near the capital of Canada’s Northwest Territories, though no one claimed victory as forecasters warned that drier and windier weather was coming. Travis Whiting, chief of the Kelowna fire department, on Sunday said there's been a decreased amount of fire activity compared to recent days when homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed.
