MONTREAL: Northern Quebec's largest town was being evacuated while another that had been threatened by wildfires lifted an evacuation order on Tuesday (Jun 6), as firefighters worked to beat back threats from out-of-control blazes in remote communities in the northern and northwestern parts of the province.
The intense Canadian wildfires are blanketing the northeastern United States and parts of eastern Canada in a haze, turning the air acrid and the sky yellowish grey, and prompting warnings for vulnerable populations to stay inside.
A commuter steps into the subway as smoke from wildfires in Canada partially obscures One World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan, New York, on Jun 6, 2023. The sun rises over a hazy New York City skyline as seen from Jersey City, New Jersey, on Jun 7, 2023. "We're following all of this from hour to hour, obviously," Premier Francois Legault told reporters in Sept-Iles, Quebec."If we look at the situation in Quebec as a whole, there are several places where it is still worrying."
"The fire started in an area where there were no trees, which slowed it down considerably," Mayor Guy Lafreniere said. On Monday, Legault said that authorities had no choice but to leave the hamlet of Clova to burn, drawing the ire of local residents.
