Smoke Drifts South as Wildfires Rage | Dayton News

Wildfires blazing across Canada and the U.S. are sending smoke south, forcing evacuations in Minnesota’s Superior National Forest — where campers were rescued by canoe and even carried boats overland as skies turned hazy and heat soared. Fuelled by drought and extreme heat, these fires are a climate crisis in action, with experts blaming fossil fuel emissions for making them more frequent and deadly. Smoke is choking cities as far south as Washington D.C., triggering health alerts for breathing problems, especially for those with heart or lung conditions. Officials warn these fires could burn into winter, turning skies gray and turning everyday life into a hazardous ordeal — urging everyone to stay indoors, monitor air quality, and protect themselves from the invisible threat of smoke.
