Original Note:
The smog in New York is the result of wildfires in Quebec and Nova Scotia, Canada, provinces in the east of the country. The prescribed burn the user in the screenshot is referring to occurred in Alberta, Canada, which is in the far west and unrelated to the NY smog. https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2023/06/07/new-york-citys-smoke-filled-air-caused-by-canadian-fires-explained/amp/ https://calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/unexpected-winds-in-banff-cause-prescribed-burn-to-go-out-of-control/wcm/6daced34-57c2-47bd-99b6-d8f552c27b19/amp/
