This is the best summary I could come up with:

Canada will send in armed forces to tackle fast-spreading wildfires in British Columbia, prime minister Justin Trudeau has said, as more than 35,000 people were put under evacuation orders in the western province.

But other blazes, exacerbated by severe drought, were reported closer to the US border and in the US Pacific Northwest, where separate wildfires had killed at least one person and destroyed dozens of structures.

The British Columbia premier, David Eby, also imposed a ban on nonessential travel on Saturday in order to free up accommodation for evacuees and firefighters.

2,000km to the north, a wildfire burning out of control in Yellowknife, the capital city of Northwest Territories, triggered the evacuation of almost all of its 20,000 residents last week, leaving it a virtual ghost town.

Flames were being held at bay 15km (9 miles) from the city, but firefighters were not close to declaring victory, especially with drier and windier weather forecast for the coming days.

About 2,600 people remained in Yellowknife, including emergency teams, firefighters, utility workers and police officers, along with some residents who refused to leave.

The original article contains 655 words, the summary contains 182 words. Saved 72%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Will be watching to see how they do.
