Wildfires in western Quebec have prompted thousands to evacuate the area over the weekend, while the threat of encroaching flames eased slightly on the North Shore as Canadian Armed Forces geared up to fight the threat.

Public Security Minister François Bonnardel says some 5,500 residents of the Abitibi-Temiscamingue region, which borders Ontario, have been relocated.

He says another 4,500 people in the North Shore community of Sept-Îles and its outskirts were also forced from their homes, but no further evacuations are planned at the moment.

As Global's Felicia Parrillo reports, the situation in the region of Abitibi is critical.
