The smoke from these fires has affected approximately one-third of the United States, leading to hazardous air quality primarily in New England and some parts of New York and the Midwest. Alerts were issued in Canada and the U.S. about the particulate pollution from the haze. The wildfires have already burned more than 2 million hectares since May, primarily in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, with officials warning of worsening conditions and potential evacuations.
