As I sit in our family area, the smoke from that fire is covering the city, and our eyes are watering.



This is not the same fire that we've endured over the last week but a new one.



It seems endless at the moment. Kangaroo Island is about 80 kilometres from the city as the crow flies.

Hiya BT and happy new year.



How long has the city been covered in smoke? We had it here a few years ago. It only lasted about two days until the wind changed direction. It made people sick.

We never seem to get serious forest fires in Southern Ontario like they do out West. Northern Ontario has had some major forest fires.

It's been a couple of weeks, on and off dependent on wind changes.



There's been a number of fires in different locations in that time.

Yep, wind decides whether you have orange smoky air or not.

Quote from: "TheVancouverGuy"How are our Australian friends doing? I just read the biggest evacuation in Australia. Animals dead. State of emergency.


My heart is completely broken.



Also today on the news from Kangaroo Island, two dead... 80 year old pilot and his 43 yr old plastic surgeon son.



I can't even speak about the fires. It's all stuck in my chest.
