Smoke from Canada Wildfires Triggers Air Quality Alerts Across US | Firstpost America | N18G

Wildfires are tearing through parts of Canada, forcing more than 25,000 residents to evacuate across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. The town of Flin Flon has seen over 5,000 flee, while Cranberry Portage lost power and evacuated 600 residents. Manitoba has declared a state of emergency, and smoke is severely affecting air quality as far south as the US states of North Dakota and Minnesota. The US has sent firefighters and aircraft to assist. Shelters are overwhelmed, with evacuees sleeping on floors. Indigenous leaders are calling for urgent support. With hot, dry weather fuelling the flames, officials warn the coming days are critical.
