On April 20, 2024, a wildfire in Burgess Creek, British Columbia, Canada prompted the transfer of 225 inmates from a high-security prison in Quebec as a precaution. The inmates were moved to other prisons following an evacuation order due to wildfires in Port-Cartier. The Correctional Service of Canada took action to ensure the safety of staff, the public, and the inmates, without disclosing specific details. The Port-Cartier prison is one of the highest security prisons in Canada, previously housing notorious criminals like serial killer Robert Pickton and adult film actor Luka Rocco Magnotta.
