Canada’s Wildfires and the Burning Train | Global News

A freight train in Canada went up in flames, with crew members trapped and describing being “encased” in fire—just one harrowing scene in a wildfire crisis that’s now engulfing over 800 fires across the country, including more than 100 in Ontario. Smoke has blanketed cities like Toronto, triggering some of the worst air quality levels globally and forcing warnings for vulnerable populations. While the train crew was safely rescued and operations paused, officials caution that this year’s smoke may not match last year’s severity—but the threat remains real, with masks even being distributed in places like New York as a precaution.
