The growing Canadian wildfires are affecting people across borders. This is because the plume of smoke now stretches thousands of miles.
Every year, the Canadian wildfire season begins around the same time. Seasonal activity begins in May and continues through October. To everyone’s surprise, this year’s fire and smoke broke a 30-year record. The blazing flashes have spread across Canada and forced people to evacuate.
As per the tabloids, there are currently 400 wildfires in Canada. In the Canadian province, it has spread everywhere except Nunavut and Prince Edward Island. If measured in hectares, the Blazers have covered over 4.4m hectares, which were originally 2.7 m at the beginning of the season.
Why Do Canadians Have a Fire Season?
Unlike the seasons that the rest of the world knows and experiences, Canada goes through a unique season named Fire Season. The reason behind the name is the blazing wildfire that takes over the country every year.
So how does the fire start? When Canada experiences summer, many regions face heavy lightning. This causes a fire that escalates fast enough to create difficulty for wildlife and humans.
You will be shocked to know that the warmer Canada gets, the faster the wildfire will spread. The country is currently under a huge plume of smoke and deteriorating air quality. People suffering from the weather conditions are forced to evacuate.
However, the wildfire isn’t entirely nature’s doing. There are many things that humans do that contribute to spiking the Blazers. For example, the burning cigarette buds catch fire due to the high-paced trains. When these human causes join the climatic disturbances, it takes the shape of something that Canada is currently suffering.

Why Has the Wildfire Caused Havoc This Year?
The fire blazers are gradually increasing, and countries like the U.S., Europe, and others are under a plume of smoke. The fire in Canada is smashing poor air quality records.
With the poorest air quality, people living in Chicago, Milwaukee, and Detroit suffered from breathing problems. A few weeks ago, the effects of this wildfire were visible all over the news as orange smoke enveloped New York City and made many headlines.
Wondering why the fire has taken such a catastrophic form? The reason behind this is the poor weather conditions. However, the country is trying its best to contain the wildfire. According to a popular tabloid, they are presently at preparedness level 5 and are putting all efforts into mobilizing the fire.
President Biden has extended a helping hand to contain the fire.
