Canada's ongoing wildfires are spreading smoke across the East Coast of the United States, including the New York City area, which was reported to look red like it was on the planet Mars on Wednesday afternoon. According to Canadian officials, over 400 fires spread across Canada have displaced 20,000 individuals, which means this year's wildfire season is the worst on record as the fire accelerates quickly due to dry ground. More than 100 unsupervised fires were burning in Quebec alone on Tuesday.

The biggest issue caused by the fires is air quality. Millions of people are affected by the worst air quality in the recorded history of New York City, according to FOX Weather's analysis of EPA historical data. As a result, residents have been warned by officials such as Mayor Eric Adams and health and emergency management officials to limit their outside time and remain inside as much as possible. Officials have also recommended wearing masks when outside. Governor Hochul released an update from the New York Department of Environmental Conservation and declared an 'Air Quality Health Advisory' for all of New York apart from the Adirondacks.

Due to the smoke, La Guardia Airport in New York City stopped all its planes on Wednesday and delays are expected in other airports in the region. The mayor of Ottawa, Mark Sutcliffe, expresses his concern about the situation and shows sympathy to those who have lung problems or asthma and who might have a hard time amid the thick smoke. The Ottawa Public Health recommends keeping an eye on health symptoms while the health index for air quality continues to degrade.
