Since the beginning of May, fires have followed one another in Canada, resulting in the evacuation of tens of thousands of people.
At the beginning of June, it is in Quebec to become the epicenter of North American fires, about 160 fires are still active and the smoke that emerges from as many hectares that disappear moves and crosses borders. The winds push the smoke strongly towards the South and it arrives in the United States, in particular in the large cities of New York and Washington, giving rise to impressive images.
But these fumes are not without danger to health, on June 7, the mayor of New York warned the population: “It’s not the day to train for the marathon“. If the touch of humor is palpable in Eric Adams, the situation is serious and New Yorkers are bringing out the masks that had taken place in the drawers at the end of the Covid pandemic.
Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, One World Trade Center tower or Capitol in Washington are veiled in reddish smoke making the photos unforgettable but the air unbreathable for all sensitive people.
