Wildfires in Canada have caused smoke to pour into the US East Coast and Midwest, covering major cities in an unhealthy haze

Wildfires in Canada have caused smoke to pour into the US East Coast and Midwest, covering major cities in an unhealthy haze

The smoke has caused flight delays, postponed baseball games, and prompted people to wear face masks.
The air quality index has exceeded 400 in some areas, considered hazardous, and millions of people are affected.

The fire season is the worst in Canada's history and firefighters are struggling to contain the blazes.

More help is needed and over 950 firefighters and equipment have arrived from other countries.

The Canadian Prime Minister has thanked the US for assistance and President Biden has sent over 600 firefighters and equipment.

The largest town in Northern Quebec was evacuated and Chief Petawabano asked residents to wait for instructions from Cree officials.

A massive wildfire in Canada has resulted in smoke being carried over to the central and eastern United States.

This has caused multiple states to issue air quality alerts, with some even closing schools and beaches.

The smoke has also caused several sports events and outdoor activities to be cancelled, including a virtual 5K.

Some political demonstrations and horse racing have also been affected.

The smoke has also caused health problems for some people, with one person reporting difficulty breathing.

The Federal Aviation Administration has had to pause some flights and slow others due to the poor visibility.

The New York governor has made 1 million N95 masks available at state facilities.
