Where are the wildfires in Canada? Maps pinpoint the location of fires and air-quality threats from smoke
Wildfire season is off to an early and intense start in Canada—and its effects aren’t stopping at the border. Hundreds of fires are burning across central and western provinces, with smoke drifting south and degrading air quality in large parts of the U.S., especially the Midwest. Interactive maps from Canadian and U.S. agencies now show how widespread the impact has become. While some relief is expected this week, experts warn: it’s only June, and Canada’s fire season is just beginning. Michael Grothaus with Fast Company has the full story.
If you’d like to check the live status of Canadian fires, you can find that resource here from the CIFFC. The EPA’s air quality map can be found here. Unfortunately there is little data for North Dakota.
