Is it burning a lot of trees, with crown fires, or is it mainly a prairie fire?
That area is Boreal forest and muskeg. There is potential even for it to burn underground for many years if it gets into peat moss. There are areas, mainly north of there, which are open as well due to reclamation activities.
We are already getting smoke in the Medicine Hat area where I live as the wind has changed. We are maybe 18 hours south of the fire.
Bad scene, prayers every day for all affected. If you get the chance to donate something, please do.
