There are wildfires (野火) in Quebec and Ontario in Canada. The fires are very big. The smoke (烟) gets to Europe this week.

Pictures show a big cloud of smoke. The smoke arrives at the Azores islands on Sunday. It comes to Western Europe — Spain, France, and Portugal on Monday. The smoke in Europe is about 1,100 meters high. It’s higher than the smoke in the United States. That means it is not dangerous for people.

The number of fires is going up. The fires will not end soon.
