Smoke Chokes Midwest as Fires Rage | Global News

Smoke from raging wildfires in Canada and Minnesota is blanketing the Midwest and Northeast, forcing evacuations, turning skies orange, and making millions breathe hazardous air. Campers in Minnesota’s Boundary Waters, accessible only by boat, were rescued as flames flanked their lakes, with some even needing help from Canadian authorities. Over 100 fires fueled by extreme heat and drought could burn for months, with officials allowing some to smolder unless they threaten life or property. Health experts urge staying indoors, sealing windows, using air purifiers, or wearing N95 masks if you must go outside — because this isn’t just smoke, it’s a health emergency.
