4:47Now PlayingQuebec has been plagued with some 160 wildfires, making it the latest hotspot in Canada, where wildfires have been eating up swathes of land in different locations for weeks.
Some 110 of the fires were deemed out of control, with evacuations ongoing in northern Quebec's largest town.
The western Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, some 650 kilometers (400 miles) north of Montreal was hit the hardest.
Francois Bonnardel, Quebec's public safety minister, said the situation was "never seen" before in the province. He added that a large number of these fires were sparked by human carelessness.
Bonnardel noted that unlike western Canada, Quebec is not historically prone to this scale of wildfire. "But right now everything is on fire."
