Northern Quebec’s largest town is being evacuated as firefighters work to beat back threats from out-of-control blazes in remote communities in the northern and north-western parts of the Canadian province.

According to the forest fire prevention agency, more than 150 forest fires were burning in the province on Tuesday, including more than 110 deemed out of control.
