A terrifying video from northern Ontario captured the moment a freight train became surrounded by wildfire flames, prompting crew members to request an emergency rescue after reporting they were "encased" in fire. The footage emerged as more than 100 wildfires continue to burn across Ontario, threatening several northwestern communities and sending smoke across parts of Canada and the United States.
The incident comes amid worsening wildfire conditions driven by record-breaking heat and dry weather, with smoke also raising air quality concerns in several US cities.
