Air Quality Alert issued in Canada due to a Wildfire in Nova Scotia

Thousands of people have been evacuated

As of Tuesday, more than a dozen fires were still burning and over 16,000 people had been evacuated from Nova Scotia due to a wildfire. The mandatory order was issued by officials as the fire worsened.

Smoke causes air quality alerts

The smoke from the wildfire has not only threatened nearby communities but has also caused air quality alerts. The alerts have been issued as far south as the US states of Maine and New Hampshire.

The impact of the wildfire

• The wildfire spread quickly and has consumed hectares of land, making it difficult for firefighters to tackle it
• The smoke has affected the air quality in many areas, causing breathing problems for people, especially those with asthma and other respiratory illnesses
• Many have been displaced from their homes due to the mandatory evacuation order issued by officials
