Officials say firefighters are still struggling to control wildfires in two Quebec regions as the situation has improved in the rest of the province.

Sylvain Tremblay of Quebec’s forest fire prevention agency — SOPFEU — says there are about 100 blazes in the southern half of the province and another 20 in the north.
