Massive wildfires in Canada are sending plumes of smoke all the way down to the New York City region.
Smoke has settled across parts of the Upper Midwest, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, triggering Air Quality Alerts for more than 124 million people.
According to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, 69 fires are burning out of control in Ontario, mostly in the western part of the province, north of Minnesota.
FOX Weather’s Bayne Froney joined LiveNOW’s Mike Pache to discuss the smoke in Manhattan.

Im from Norfolk va and it’s a little smokey here too
Come on canada put out your bush fires now.its affecting usa
Canada hire forest managers from California?
Yes baby smoke em out
And it doesn’t help that Minnesota is on fire too
Americans whine about pollution from Canada while ignoring the pollution they send to Mexico, the Atlantic & Pacific oceans and the gulf of Mexico.
I live in southwest Michigan and today while driving down the road it looked like a heavy fog.
Are you guys really sure about this? I live in southern New York right next to the Pennsylvania border and we have blue skies. Sunny day everything looks and smells ordinary. I don’t know what’s happening where they are cuz we’re not experiencing it.
They lying to us…
Why hasn’t a news team from USA went to investigate these fires….
Uranium is burning over there with the smoke coming here
Tired of canada always mucking things up every year
Nobody likes Canada
Yup ultra. Edward 🇺🇸
America dumps 4600 mega tonnes per year of CO2 into the atmosphere, compared to Canada’s 600 mega tonnes. (China by itself adds another 13,000 mega tonnes and the EU adds 3300). All this heat is hardly Canada’s responsibility to solve.
A BC helicopter pilot was helping put out fires in Colorado last week, he died while helping America with it’s problems. Canada sends help, America sends tariffs. If the wind shifted, and smoke from American fires was travelling north, would America pay compensation?
So many Canadian loggers are out of work due to Trump’s lumber tariffs. The guys who used to clear cut fire breaks while logging are unemployed and the mills are shut down.
Sometimes Tariffs have unintended consequences.
Get rid of this annoying reporter, please.
The reality is that Canada’s forests cover nearly 350 million hectares, roughly nine per cent of the world’s forests, much of it remote wilderness where fire has been a natural part of the ecosystem for thousands of years,” Soudas wrote. “No country on Earth has the capacity to remove every tree, every branch, or every piece of combustible material across landscapes of that scale.”
We got a bit of smoke here in VA…nothing like this though…
