Hazy skies tinged with an eerie yellow glow greeted millions of Canadians in Quebec and Ontario again Wednesday
The amount of land burned surpassed the 40,000-square-kilometre mark Wednesday, making the 2023 fire season Canada’s fourth-worst on record before the summer has even officially begun.“By all measures, this is perhaps the worst year we have experienced with wildfires,” Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair said.
Alberta has lifted its state of emergency following a very difficult May, during which 314 fires burned more than 12,000 square kilometres of forest and prompted thousands of people to flee their homes. Still, 65 fires remain burning in that province, 17 of them out of control. Individuals were also changing their plans to enjoy the great outdoors and donning face masks when they were outside.
“It turns out it is smoke, and it’s not good. So, I’m really worried, not even about the air condition, but about the forest,” said Perkhidouk.“Forest fires, especially out east in Nova Scotia, that’s not a common occurrence,” he said. “So that’s definitely something we need to address and look at what’s going on in the environment right now.”
FEMA leads the U.S. government’s programs to prepare for, prevent, respond and recover from natural disasters, terrorist attacks and other major incidents.
