Dozens of wildfires burning in southern part of the province of Quebec have spread smoke across much of northern New England this weekend, and the smoke is now filtering into southern New England.
In some case, as in New London, NH, the town administrator or fire department or other local authorities are advising residents of this and are encouraging them to be prudent in any calls for assistance.
In the meantime, as part of the Northeastern Forest Fire Protection Compact, the Maine Forest Service and the New Hampshire Forest Protection Bureau have each sent a team of firefighters to Quebec to assist with the wildfires.
