Came across an interesting analysis on the current and historical Canadian wildfires.
Made some interesting points on the mis-placed understanding/criticism in regards to Western U.S. coniferous fire burns versus the remote Canadian boreal fires we are currently seeing.

Just finished adding a page for Canada: https://wildfiresmokeresources.neocities.org/Canada
Currently only have resources for Montréal and London, as well as one (excellent) national resource. (Thank you to whoever submitted the FireSmoke.ca link today!) I'll be focused on getting all the info I currently have for the US added to the site over the next couple days, but after that will spend more time seeking out Canadian mask blocs and other resources.
If you have a resource you'd like to share for Canada (or anywhere else in North America), you can send it to me here on Mastodon via replies or DM, or submit it via this Cryptpad form: https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/3/form/view/03ab8efd32850a3d5d5c376d39ed0284/

So is Trump and his goon squad going to abduct and deport smoke?
Very strange here in West Michigan yesterday and today. The sky is thick and yellowish and a haze of smoke hangs over the trees and landscape. The smell is of wood smoke but a bad smell, not like a cozy fire smells. Our AQI has been between 300 and 500. #smoke #SmokeAdvisory #canadianwildfires
Images from an elevated webcam focused on a construction site in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, demonstrating the effects of smoke from Canadian wildfires. As the timestamps on the images show, smoke was not present on the morning of 15 July. Smoke moved into the area later that day. The next morning, 16 July, showed heavy smoke, limiting visibility. This morning, 17 July, shows a slight improvement from the day before. Air quality is still rated "hazardous".
"Smoke Season" used to be when the hotties started coming out... Now, it's literal.
Air quality in #NYC right now is very hazardous a product of the #canadianwildfires. A normal reading on the AQI index sits below 50. We’re at 234 right now
With each passing year #Wildfire conditions intensify as we fail to take action on the #ClimateCrisis. More of these events will be the norm with a decrease in intermittency.
Wildfires used to have a season, they are now year round as drought conditions become more pronounced

'Dangerous' air quality in Detroit, Minneapolis as thick wildfire smoke shrouds the sky for millions
Smoke from wildfires burning in Ontario have caused air quality to reach "dangerous" levels across Canada, and the northeastern and midwestern United States. And it could get worse before conditions improve.
By Brian Lada, AccuWeather meteorologist
Published Jul 15, 2026 11:50 AM EDT | Updated Jul 16, 2026
" Massive plumes of smoke are descending across parts of Canada and the United States, creating dangerous air quality and scenes reminiscent of the historic wildfire smoke outbreak from three summers ago.
" 'In 2023, a major fire outbreak in Quebec caused days of unhealthy air quality in the northeastern U.S.,' AccuWeather Vice President of Forecast Operations Dan DePodwin said. 'This event could cause similar levels of poor air quality in spots.'
"Air quality alerts have been issued for millions of people, including across all of #Connecticut, #Delaware, #Massachusetts, #Michigan, #NewHampshire, #NewJersey, #NewYork, #Ohio, #Pennsylvania, #RhodeIsland and #Wisconsin.
"Over 800 wildfires are currently burning across Canada, including dozens that are out of control across western #Ontario, the source of most of the smoke. 'Many of these fires may have been started by lightning,' AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson said.
"On Wednesday, #Toronto had some of the worst air quality in North America, reaching 'very unhealthy' levels with an AQI of 220. #BostonMA was not far behind with an unhealthy AQI of 147.
" 'When the AQI climbs into the 150+ range for a full day outside, that’s in the ballpark of [smoking] 7 to 9 cigarettes,' Dr. Jonathan M. Tan, division chief of General Anesthesiology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, told AccuWeather.
"Conditions deteriorated by Thursday morning, with widespread "dangerous" air quality across nearly all the Great Lakes region and into parts of the Northeast. Minneapolis and Duluth, Minnesota, as well as Detroit, were among the worst cities at daybreak Thursday, with AQIs over 340.
" 'Any exposure to the air, even for a few minutes, can lead to serious health effects on everybody,' Plume Labs said.
Avoid outdoor activities.' "

Canadian #wildfire smoke turns air hazardous in the US #Midwest. Officials say stay inside
By TAMMY WEBBER and PHILIP MARCELO, July 16, 2026
NEW YORK (AP) — "Heavy, pungent smoke from #CanadianWildfires darkened skies in the U.S. on Thursday from the #GreatLakes to parts of the #EastCoast, reducing visibility for commuters and prompting warnings that air quality could make being outside dangerous.
"#Detroit’s air quality was among the worst in the world for major cities, as a lingering high pressure system trapped smoke from dozens of fires in Canada and northern Minnesota, said Steven Freitag, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Pontiac, Michigan.
" 'Sure enough, it arrived in force here and it’s really pretty extreme levels,' said Freitag, who noted that visibility in some areas was reduced to a half mile.
"Omar Mitchell wore a mask as he walked to his restaurant in Detroit. He said he urged his employees to do the same.
" 'It’s scary,' Mitchell, 50, said as he looked at the sky. 'You don’t know necessarily what the side effects may be. That’s days or months later.'
"Cities across the Great Lakes states registered air quality ranging from unhealthy to hazardous — which means it’s unhealthy for anyone, regardless of health conditions. Microscopic particles can lodge deep in the lungs and enter the bloodstream, leading to heart and lung problems and contributing to other long-term health issues.
"All of #Michigan and much of #Minnesota were under a hazardous #AirQualityAlert. In the Chicago area, air quality ranged from very unhealthy to hazardous.
"National Weather Service meteorologist Jake Petr said even if winds from the northwest clear skies as expected later this week, the smoky air could keep returning until the fires are out. That could take weeks or longer.
" 'Anytime we have something that could bring air from that region until the fires are over, it could conceivably dip back into the area,' Petr said.
"In #SaintPaulMN, the air was 'glowing yellow,' said Brent Williams, head of the soil, water and climate department at the University of Minnesota, who said the area 'could be looking at weeks to months of continued smoke and flare-ups off and on as the winds blow in different directions.'
"A study published this year found that long-term exposure to tiny particles from wildfire smoke contributed to an average of 24,100 deaths a year in the lower 48 states. Long-term exposure can make existing health problems worse and lead to a range of chronic and deadly health issues, including respiratory illness, cardiovascular and neurological diseases, and premature death."

Detroit’s air quality early Thursday ranked as hazardous, worst in the world – CBS Detroit
Wildfire smoke drifted across Southeast Michigan Wednesday night and a smoky, hazy sky resulting from fine particulate pollution was clearly visible by daybreak on Thursday. All of Michigan is under an air quality alert through Friday. The air was so bad early Thursday in Southeast Michigan that Detroit was listed as having the worst air quality in the world in the IQAir database, well into the "hazardous" range, topping even Toronto, Canada, and Minneapolis, Minnesota. The smoke […]

This is really bare bones because I haven't done the usual outreach I do to get it updated, but I have a Wildfire Smoke Resources doc for the US (I would like to expand it to Canada but I'd need help!) where you can get information about where to find free masks, air filters and air purifiers, and safe places to go to get out of smoky air, as well as general resources about wildfire smoke and how to protect yourself: https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/view/4Mi5umUBZUCSIt7qA6kMSiZK5ZoTntWUlSXkJ9y1ZhU/
If you have a mask block or other resource for free masks or clean air in your area, let me know! You can message me here or use the form that's linked in the doc.
