Canada’s Wildfire Season Rages On: Record-Breaking 100,000 Square Kilometers Scorched
Canada’s wildfire season has reached unprecedented levels, with a staggering 100,000 square kilometers of land engulfed in flames. This extensive area burned is equivalent to the combined size of Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, and Lake Michigan.
Surpassing the previous record set in 1989, Canada reached this milestone on June 27, when the total area burned reached 76,000 square kilometers. Communities across the country have been grappling with evacuation orders, heat warnings, and persistently poor air quality for months.
