Smoke from roughly 100 out-of-control wildfires in Ontario is blanketing the Midwest and Northeast United States. Cities in the region have issued air quality warnings as the haze drifts south and east.
The smoke has traveled about 1,000 miles from the fires, creating an orange tint in the sky over a wide area. Officials attribute the event to the ongoing blazes in Canada.
The wildfires are described as devastating, with the smoke affecting public health in multiple states this week. Warnings urge residents to limit outdoor activities where air quality has declined.
This marks another instance of cross-border impacts from Canadian fires reaching the United States.
