According to the latest information from FOX Weather , hundreds of forest fires are raging across the Western United States and Canada. Although some fires have been extinguished, the consequences are dense clouds of smoke that spread thousands of kilometers, covering the West Coast to the East Coast of the United States.
Half the town of Jasper, inside the famous Canadian National Park of the same name, was destroyed by fire. About 20,000 tourists and 5,000 residents of the town of Jasper were evacuated several days ago, mostly west to British Columbia.
According to FOX Weather, there are currently nearly 90 fires continuing to break out across the Western United States, each fire burning at least 400km2. About 22,000 firefighters are trying to fight these fires.
A "Very High" fire danger warning has been activated for Yellowstone National Park in the US.
The worst situation occurred in eastern Oregon, where several large fires burned more than 400 square kilometers each. In New York, more than 3,200 km away from the fire, the sky was also covered with a layer of smoke. It is forecast that in the coming days, smoke will continue to affect air quality across the central states of the United States.
Tourists choosing to travel to the Western United States and Canada should pay attention to their schedules. Some states such as Washington, California... in the US are affected by toxic smoke and reduced air quality.
Residents and tourists are advised to limit going out or prepare masks and necessary items to prevent respiratory diseases. Visitors to other areas across the United States also need to prepare adequate clothing, electrolyte water and sunscreen to avoid heat stroke and dehydration with rising temperatures.
At the same time, tourists also need to continuously monitor weather forecasts and update the latest information to build a suitable schedule, avoiding affecting their travel experience and health.
