Wildfires

Some towns have banned outdoor fires until the weather improves. Officials say about 30% of the state is abnormally dry.

Air quality specialists in the state are starting to more closely monitor wildfire activity in Canada. Because of climate change, those fires are becoming more intense and reaching areas closer to the Northeast, leading to worse air quality in places like New Hampshire.

Most of the state will see some improved air quality levels on Wednesday. But levels will still be unhealthy for Grafton, Sullivan and Cheshire counties.

More than 200 wildfires are raging across Canada, sending a thick blanket of choking smoke through the U.S. Midwest. Experts says climate change means U.S. residents better get used to it.

Record-breaking wildfires continue to rage across the border in Canada. The smoke from the fires made its way to New Hampshire, but firefighter Brian Johnson of Rindge has seen the fires up close.

In New Hampshire, pollution is expected to be especially acute in Cheshire, Grafton and Sullivan counties, and at elevations above 2,000 feet.

With no clear end in sight to the Canadian wildfires, experts weigh in on how NH residents can prepare for poor air quality.

The state's Department of Environmental Services says smoke is expected to reach New Hampshire from wildfires burning in Nova Scotia.
