Canada wildfire smoke hits Northeast U.S
Plumes of smoke from wildfires scorching southeastern Canada's Nova Scotia province are drifting across the Northeastern United States and prompting air quality alerts in several cities through Wednesday.
Fires have been burning in Canada for weeks, as much of the country experiences above-average temperatures and while it's not unusual for Canadian wildfire smoke to reach the U.S., it's normally Northwestern states that are affected.
Meanwhile, as thick smoke from the Halifax fire chokes the Canadian city, officials reported a rise in respiratory distress calls from the poor air quality and urged vulnerable people to take precautions.
