The fires and their smoke paths have impacted several cities across North America since the beginning of the summer, most notably in New York City and the Northeast. However, devastation from this season's fires has put the country on track for the worst wildfire season in recent years.
Wildfires are common during this time of year when warmer, dry weather creates the perfect environment for blazes, especially in Canada's forests. The Wisconsin DNR has issued an air quality advisory through Thursday afternoon but expects hazy skies to improve by Wednesday afternoon. Milwaukee experienced one of the worst air quality indexes in the world on Tuesday because of smoke from Canadian wildfires.
