MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – The total area burned from the wildfires in Canada so far this year totals nearly the size of Minnesota, and the fires are still active.
It’s been an unprecedented fire season so far in Canada, which has led to numerous air quality alerts across Minnesota over the summer. The fires have burned 44.2 million acres, the Minnesota Air Quality Index posted on X (formerly Twitter). The size of Minnesota is 55.6 million acres.
The fires have the potential to lead to more smoky conditions in Minnesota toward the middle of next week, the Minnesota Air Quality Index added.
