The intense Canadian wildfires are blanketing the northeastern U.S. and parts of Eastern Canada, turning the sky yellowish gray and prompting warnings for vulnerable populations to stay inside.
Smoke from wildfires is seen as a cyclist bikes up Saint-Jacques Street in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on Monday, June 6, 2023. Northern Quebec’s largest town was being evacuated on Tuesday as firefighters worked to beat back threats from out-of-control blazes in remote communities in the northern and northwestern parts of the province.
"We’re following all of this from hour to hour, obviously," Premier François Legault told reporters in Sept-Îles, Quebec. "If we look at the situation in Quebec as a whole, there are several places where it is still worrying." Other northern communities at risk include Chibougamau the Cree village of Chisasibi on the eastern shore of James Bay. Firefighting resources have also been dispatched to Hydro-Québec’s Micoua substation near Baie-Comeau, Legault said.
