B.C. Premier David Eby says the entire province is now under a state of emergency as crews grapple with dozens of out-of-control wildfires that have forced thousands of people to evacuate. Eby urged anyone under an evacuation order in the province to leave immediately if they haven't done so already, as the fires continue to move 'incredibly quickly.' #CBCNews #BritishColumbia #wildfires #Summerland #DavidEby
