It's been a hot, dry summer across much of Canada, and the Northwest Territories have seen some of the worst of it. Wildfires have been raging across the territory since the spring. Tens of thousands of people have been displaced at various times, including the 20,000 residents of the capital city, Yellowknife. In the midst of it all, you will find firefighters from across the country helping out - including four firefighters from this province. Jason Glode of Newfoundland and Labrador has been incident commander, or I.C, overseeing the firefighting efforts.
