Canada's Wildfires Continue to Rage, Forcing More Evacuations in Quebec

More than 150 forest fires are burning in Quebec, Canada, with over 110 deemed out of control, prompting the evacuation of several communities, including Chibougamau, the Cree village of Chisasibi, and the towns of Normétal and Lebel-sur-Quévillon. The intense Canadian wildfires are blanketing the northeastern US and parts of Eastern Canada in a haze, turning the air acrid, the sky yellowish-gray, and prompting warnings for vulnerable populations to stay inside. The effects of hundreds of wildfires burning in Quebec could be felt as far away as New York City and New England, blotting out skylines and irritating throats.
