A second firefighter has been killed in Canada as the country battles its worst season of wildfires on record.
The person, who has not yet been named, died from injuries sustained while fighting a fire near Fort Liard in the Northwest Territories on Saturday.
It comes just days after 19-year-old Devyn Gale was killed while working in neighboring British Columbia.
Nearly 900 wildfires are currently burning across Canada, about 580 of which remain out of control.
