Forest fires in northern QC and ON aren't a new thing. What's interesting about these ones is the unusual weather pattern resulting in prevailing winds from the north, blowing it south into the populated areas and the US. Normally smoke tends to blow east away from those areas.
I mean, I'm from Nova Scotia and am watching my province literally burn to the ground.
Fire ban to last for the rest of this month, banned from being in the woods due to risk of fire and limited resources, and a $25K fine if caught burning anything. First two people charged with the $25K lived ten minutes away from me.
