Canada Wildfires Bring Hazardous Smoke to Northeastern US Cities.
TL;DR Summary
Smoke from hundreds of wildfires in Canada has made the air unhealthy in several cities in the United States, including New York City and Washington. The smoke is expected to persist for several days, with haze likely to continue across the region. The fires were ignited by lightning earlier this month, but above-normal temperatures and dry conditions have helped fuel outbreaks across the country since May. As of Tuesday, there were more than 400 fires actively burning throughout Canada, with 240 of them burning out of control.
