The latest data from the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre reveals that some 12.1 million hectares (30 million acres) of wildland have burned in Canada.

While 4,742 fires had erupted across the country since the start of the year, the current number of active blazes currently stands at 1,069.

Weather forecasts show that the coming weeks are predicting above-average temperatures in several parts across the country, in particular Quebec -- the most affected region.
