Nice set. Scary, we have some in WI, actually, get it from both fires in Canada.
According to the Canadian Forest Service, there are approximately 135 to 140 forest fires burning in Canada and approximately 100 to 107 burning in the USA! We even have one forest fire burning near the Arctic Circle in the Yukon Territories of northwestern Canada.

Yikes!! It sure is early in the season to have such a fire.... North or South of the border!!
Washington knows all too well how bad it can get but not usually before July. All our best, for the winds shift soon and some rain to help!
Interesting shots too!!

It is a bad situation not only for the people but what is it doing to all the livestock & wildlife--- the weather is changing down here in West Texas , so maybe it will make a difference in the Jet stream--- sending Prayers to all of you.

Canada has invaded the US -- with smoke. Here in the Lehigh Valley of PA, the Canadian wildfires are causing health problems as the smoke is overwhelming us! The smoke is so dense, you can't really see much over a quarter mile. Here are some shots of what we are seeing -- it's like a fog except it makes eyes water and causes coughing.
I think we need reparation payments!!
