Wildfires in eastern Canada forced the evacuation of hundreds of people – including 225 inmates from a maximum security prison, officials said Sunday.

The federal penitentiary in Port-Cartier, about 500 kilometers (300 miles) north of Quebec City, was ordered evacuated along with about 1,000 local residents over the weekend, and 750 workers at a hydroelectric dam in Labrador further north.
