Canadian Wildfires Blanket US in Smoke: Residents Describe 'Terrifying' Conditions Massive wildfires in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, Canada, have burned an estimated 930,000 acres, generating a smoke plume twice the size of Texas. This plume is drifting south, impacting air quality in several US cities. Residents in affected areas reported experiencing significantly reduced visibility and the pervasive smell of smoke. "The smoke was getting pretty heavy, and we had to drive out," said one resident interviewed in the video. Another added, "Everybody's feeling anxious and scared, wondering when we'll be able to go back home." The situation highlights the far-reaching consequences of the Canadian wildfires and the urgent need for effective wildfire management strategies.
