For your smoke.

Went fishing. Looking across the lake it looks like a mist. Hard on the eyes. Should be some spectacular red sunsets.

On behalf of Canadians. You’re welcome

Be kind of nice if we could have one summer without canada being on fire.

It is very smog like here this afternoon. Went to Walmart and had to put lights on.

I hope it doesn't get worse

It’s not like the US isn’t on fire every year too. That’s what forests do, they either get harvested or they burn eventually. Canada has lots of forest and only so many guys harvesting it. California is the real dog and pony show, they have less land mass, more infrastructure, and half the state still burns down every year.

People losing their homes is sad. Hope all are okay north of the border

Smoke from our fires hazing the southern skies doesn’t even register on our list of concerns. Right now it’s about life & property. I already lost a coworker and his wife near Lac du Bonnett. When you get told to leave, leave. Don’t pack your crap and cherished heirlooms.

Thank you for the 125 US firefighters coming to Manitoba to help!

The California fires are a joke, it's an industry that makes more money the bigger the fires get... so there is no incetive to put them out!! In addition; logging (aka: harvesting) is nearly non-existant on state or federal lands in California now, so the fuels just keep building up till it burns.

Now is no time for personal jabs guys...

Some people take posts way too seriously. I get that sarcasm is hard to decifer from words on a screen......for those being severely affected, my prayers go out to them.

Man that's awful....Hope there's no more loss of life....Y'all stay safe.

Last I heard some 17,000 folks had to evacuate.

There is a lot of fuss with the Canadians with our President whom I do greatly support.However,I have never personally meet a Canadian that I didn't like.Hope you get your fires under control for your sake.The best to ya.

Bit of action everywhere.....

Do they think arson, lightning strikes or both are the causes?

Almost all of Manitobas are human caused. From trains, cigarettes to arson. But some people don't respect the back country travel bans either and unknowingly start the fire with their quads or vehicles. They even shut down the hiking trails in the provincial parks. The one near Flin Flon that started in Saskatchewan was guys shooting fireworks into the ditch.

There's a lot more burning down in California than forests. Morals, common sense, integrity, principles, virtue, you name it.

I saw today they had to stop using some of the bombers due to so many people flying drones to take pictures. Visibility was and is about a mile here all day.
