(CNN) — While the air quality has generally improved across the US, more than 800 active fires continue to burn in Canada, and more than half of them are “out of control,” according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre.

Millions of people from the Midwest to the East Coast have been under air quality alerts in recent weeks as wildfire smoke originating from Canada wafted over major US cities.

More than 24 million acres have been charred by wildfires in Canada so far in 2023 — almost four times as much as an average full year.
