A freight train was trapped between massive wildfires in Ontario, Canada, as fast-moving flames surrounded the railway tracks. Videos from inside the locomotive showed crew members describing the situation as "scary" while smoke and fire closed in. According to reports, part of the crew had detached a locomotive to rescue a foreman, but poor visibility caused it to collide with its own train. The collision reportedly sparked additional fires, forcing the crew to evacuate on foot. All crew members escaped safely. Ontario is battling 128 active wildfires, with several communities under evacuation orders.
