Hazardous air quality continues in New York City, Tri-State due to smoke from Canada wildfires

The thick, hazardous haze that’s disrupting daily life for millions of people, blotting out skylines and turning skies orange continues for another day.

Officials in New York City and across the Tri-State warned residents to stay inside and limit or avoid outdoor activities again Thursday, extending air quality alerts as forecasts showed winds continuing to push smoke-filled air south from the wildfires in Canada.

In New Jersey, Newark public schools, the state’s largest school district, along with a handful of other districts closed for the day.

New York City public schools were already scheduled to be closed on Thursday and Friday.
