Canada’s fires choke America – the reason why

Tragedies can be many things, sometimes even ecological, but sometimes the consequences can be truly dramatic.

In this case, we have to talk about the various fires that raged in Canada, and how they choked other American states precisely because of the nature of that fire.

It all started in March 2023, months before the smoke enveloped various US cities

Local firefighters worked tirelessly throughout the devastation that damaged entire hectares of land, trying to use various strategies to at least contain the damage.

In a way, certain fires have no choice but to be dealt with in this way. If a problem cannot be eliminated, it must be limited, which is why we try to confine the fire to a single area, so that it will burn out naturally. The fire continued to spread until June of the same year, bringing a huge amount of smoke to neighbouring states and forcing the population to implement emergency procedures in order not to become intoxicated.

Why these events often have such widespread effects is simple: drought can certainly cause shrubs, soil, grass and so on to dry out so much that a simple spark can create a fire. However, in the case of Canada, there are also other climatic effects that can cause a fire to start. For example, when the environment is extremely torrid and hot, there is an increased risk of lightning. Contrary to what one might think, such weather can currently cause more accidents of this magnitude.

Fires caused by lightning are one of the leading causes of fires in Canada

The nation that has many worldly boastfulnesses is, unfortunately, in dire straits, and these fires cause truly devastating damage to ecology and air quality. Already the AQI, which is in charge of air quality control, has instituted a warning regarding the control and reduction of pollution. This is because after this fire, the air is so full of smoke and fine dust that it has created an incredible health problem.

Such events occur all over the world, but at least we can always do our part by reducing pollution and thus the negative effects caused by such fires.
