A series of severe wildfires are prompting evacuations and affecting air quality across North America. In northeastern Manitoba, the Manto Sipi Cree Nation began evacuating vulnerable residents due to heavy smoke from a wildfire that has grown significantly, with more evacuations expected in the coming days. Similar evacuations and firefighting efforts are ongoing in Jasper National Park, Alberta, where controlled burns are planned to contain a wildfire that has already destroyed about 30% of the town's structures. In Colorado, wildfires have led to hazardous air quality levels, with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment issuing alerts due to high ozone and particulate matter concentrations. British Columbia is also battling wildfires, with some regions experiencing reduced fire activity due to recent rainfall, while other areas remain under evacuation orders. High temperatures and dry conditions continue to exacerbate wildfire risks across these regions.
