Raging Wildfires Burn Across Canada Sending Smoke Down to the US
More than 400 wildfires are still burning in Canada. Government officials say approximately 3.3 million hectares (8.2 million acres) have so far been scorched. This is video of fires burning in British Columbia. Smoke from the fires in Quebec and Nova Scotia triggered air quality warnings in several North American cities including New York. (Video is from BC Wildfire Service)

I’m in Jersey and I was wondering why does the sky look like that and air has a weird smell like a campfire or someone burning wood. now I understand… that’s insane that something can spread so far
ong
Same
bet y’all ain’t think we live in igloos now huh
sMe
Fr I pray for all of u bc when the day comes everyone will start panicking
This is insane. I really hope everyone is staying safe around the east coast
It’s kinda like Covid-19 and the pandemic . If you are rich and/or work from home you should be ok .
yea today I was in school and it was orange outside
Thank you 👍🏾
Why does the video have a British Columbia Wilfire Safety watermark at the bottom right corner?
I’m in Massachusetts and the sky looked so smoky , could barely the skyline. Crazy how it can spread so far.
same in RI so bad
Same in Minnesota
That’s what he said

Protect yourself and your pets. Invest in a humidifier
I can’t do much from the small village where I live in France, but I send you all my sympathy and strength by this message 🇨🇦🇨🇵
may I ask what the small village is called? Been wanting to travel.
ps. not asking for your personal info, just the village so I can look it up and see if I can put it in my bucket list. 🙂
@Lioness Princess Live your life to the fullest 🙏🏽
Can we visit you?
@Lioness Princess Yes and your address 😲😱
@Kenneth_James ????
Out here in Easton, PA the smoke is all over the place and it is hard to breathe. My prayers go out to Canada.
Eyyyy Easton whassup fam
Damn that sucks. No smoke in Phillipsburg. 😂😂😂
East Pen… prayers for yoi cuz I don’t smell smoke here in ont at all. Seems it’s all blowing south
I hope they can get this under control! I feel so bad for the people involved with fighting the blaze. I’m in Pennsylvania and you would think the fire is in the next town. People must stay in doors
Thats why so smokey in *NYC*
Looks like an intentional forest management blaze if you watch the beginning of the video.
@Partelow22 ya I really don’t understand that part
It is intentional, the gov etc are foul
I’m in Brooklyn NYC and the whole time I thought it looked foggy or something because it was about to rain. Wow this is crazy
In columbus ohio thought the same thing
Same dude, BK. Messed up .
@Steven Rozakis yeah the last time I remember smoke coming to Brooklyn was when 9/11 happened. The smoke travelled all the way to Brooklyn
Same!
Same, I’m in Brooklyn kept wondering where this was coming from. Insane and concerning smh.
I was wondering why I was able to look at the sun for a prolonged period without having to immediately avert my eyes and it had a weird orange tint. Didn’t realize it was smoke. And now I can fathom how a super volcano could blot out the sun completely and send us into an ice age.
Word I work ems in bx and was in Long Island n I’m tryna tell my partner to look at the sun it looked clear n wasn’t burning my eyes but she was dozing off 😂
Please never look into the sun. Even if it feels like you can.
@Patrick Simmonds Of course I know that. I just happened to look up and see the orange color and in that momentary glance, realized it wasn’t burning my eyes like it usually does. It’s not gonna kill your eye sight to look at the sun for a few seconds. I wouldn’t spend hours gazing at it.
Yeah the sun was like orange
@Patrick Simmonds hey what’s up
How are you doing today Patrick
I’m Jay from NC
Stay safe! I feel so sorry for all the living things got destroyed with the fire. I was concerned when I look at my weather app and it says the Air Quality Alert.
You cant stay safe when the air itself is fucked
@Jay Kelley right
I didn’t think about them but yes I feel bad for them
if u see video they lit the forest on fire with lighted fuels from the helicopters.
It’s so awful! Animal lover that I am, my heart breaks for the wildlife. 💔 Hope it gets under control really, really soon! It’s super smoky here in Philly!
Same and I’m in pa I just feel so bad for the birds and all the critters outside that can’t escape it
The authority says it’ll continue to be like this or even worst all summer 😢😢
