Have the fires in Canada drifted to friendship?

Not to make light, but the folks who love being around campfires and black powder smoke shouldn't have too much trouble around the Canada smoke? It's not too bad in SE PA, but maybe worse up there. Hope it works out for everyone. Not meaning to be flip or disrespectful.

I was a firefighter for 10 years before becoming a adolescent therapist. Huge difference between campfire smoke and wildfire smoke.

Guys, its like this. I'm from the big mountains out west (multiple states). Just about every summer we were socked in due to wildfire smoke. Sometimes it went on for a couple of months straight. Lots of valleys were smoked in. There were many times we were grounded due to thick smoke. I flew airtankers that dropped retardant on the fires. Whenever I wasn't flying the airtankers, I was flying relief support missions. In terms of being on the ground, life went on despite the smoke. My brother-in-law has bad asthma and he was a ground firefighter for the USFS for years, on the fire line right down there in the thick of it. Forrest fire smoke is an inconvenience and definitely takes some of the fun out of being outdoors. But unless a person is in bad health, it is doable.

Forest fire smoke is unpredictable. It can change from one day to the next, depending on the weather. Personally, I would not put off an event I wanted to attend due to smoke.

I live half hour away had some haze but not enough to really notice. Looks good today!

Up in New England guys are putting out meat in the open and it’s getting smoked just from being outdoors.

I spend 2 hours a day in a Ford Focus death trap on "the highway of death", a little smoke in my lungs is the least of my worries. I'm going, first time, come H*** or high water.

Sounds like y’all needed to do some more shooting!

I am a member of LVFG so at least once a week I am at one or both.

No smoke but can't guarantee the high water
