More than 950 wildfires are scorching Canada from coast to coast, the national wildland fire summary says. Roughly 241 blazes are out of control.
The fires have prompted Environment Canada to issue air quality warnings from B.C. to Quebec, as well as the Northwest Territories.
Smoke from Canadian wildfires is also hovering over major cities in the United States, including New York, Chicago and Detroit.
