disaster in Canada

wildfires

This summer, a series of wildfires broke out in Canada. Hundreds of homes are being declared in total, dozens of which are becoming out of control, forcing authorities to evacuate tens of thousands of people from areas threatened by fire and smoke. They are part of a large series of fires across Canada at that time. Forest fires impact the air quality of Quebec and the east coast of the United States.

numbers

Over 6,068 fires have occurred in Canada since the beginning of the season. 1,063 are still active, 686 of which are considered out of control. A total of 16 million hectares were burned. This global area of forests, which have fallen into smoke, corresponds roughly to the equivalent of a quarter of metropolitan France. A disaster of this magnitude is unprecedented in Canadian history.

Cause and factor

fires were triggered by climate change due to human activities, as well as by lightning impacts during thunderstorms.
