Ontario Wildfires Rage On as Smoke Envelopes North America
Ontario’s wildfires persist with nearly 200 fires burning about 1.7 million acres, forcing evacuations in 10 communities and rescuing around 300 people; smoke blankets parts of Canada and the U.S., driving hazardous air quality in major cities as officials deploy 155 fire crews and roughly 80 aircraft in use with 40 more ready to deploy, amid political criticism of wildfire funding and pledges to spend more to fight the blazes.
