Wildfire Smoke Causes Closures on Garden State Parkway and Nova Scotia.

Smoke from a 5,000-acre wildfire in New Jersey's Bass River State Forest caused the closure of a section of the Garden State Parkway for four hours due to dense fog. Meanwhile, a massive wildfire in Nova Scotia, Canada, has prompted air quality warnings in regions as far south as Virginia and Maryland. Rain is forecast in the area, and fire officials are hopeful they can get the largest wildfire ever recorded in the province under control. The wet weather is set to continue from Friday into next week. State Farm will no longer insure new homes in California due to wildfire risks.
