hard to express what it was like today. it would be bright organge then just regular smokey. eyes itch. vulernable people (those w respiratory issues) were asked to stay home. scary stuff. almost apocolyptic

Thanks for your solidarity Casey. A lot of New Yorkers don't realize but what they're facing now with their air quality is the reality for many Canadians during the warmer months of the year. Last month my father and brother were evacuated from their home in Western Canada due to uncontrolled wildfires, luckily they had somewhere to stay. Some families aren't so lucky, furthermore Canada is so vast and we have such a small population that when these fires start we lack the man power to keep them in control, we often have to get firefighters from other countries flown in to help. Keep us in your prayers ya'll.

Sorry to see this! As an Australian who has lived through a bunch of bush fire seasons sending prayers for the fire fighters putting out the fires and i also hope you all stay safe and the smoke clears soon.

I live in southern Ontario and it smells like a campfire outside every day. This has never happened before, very concerning. Thank you to all the firefighters that are battling the many wildfires in our Country. And thank you to America for sending a lot of them to aid us in doing so.

Should have seen the 2019/2020 fires in Sydney. You could only just see the buildings across the road from you. Aussies and Canadians share firefighters, swapping back and forth between the flipped seasons. Was freaky too because everyone was used to wearing masks from the fires, then went straight into COVID

As a Canadian who has been through a few summers of wildfires, I see people at risk in terms of their health. They really should be investing in air filtering masks and should be staying inside, not out, no matter how much New York never sleeps. Three days minimum. My heart goes out to everyone affected.

Maybe listed as “the worst” but it’s coming from wild fires that will stop at some point. Traveling to cities like Kathmandu and others in Asia..it’s just their daily life. I was there for 3 weeks, and it hung in the air every day. Thanks for sharing the great shots of NYC and what’s happening there now, I hope for all of us we can find a way to keep our air and water clean-

Didn’t know that NYC was somehow in mexico this summer

[Highdee]

Thank you for the East Coast of Canada shout out! It's been bad here in Nova Scotia & lots of people have lost homes. Many fires are still out of control. Hopefully, you guys clear up soon. Take care NYC!

[AJapaneseDream]

Well that didn't take long at all to get this vlog out! Hope the air clears up for all of you down there! On behalf of Canada "We're Sorry"

Keep safe everyone out there. Greetings from Switzerland. I am very saddened to see this and also my thoughts go the people and animals in Canada that are suffering right now from those huge wildfires. I’ve read that there are over 160 wildfires ongoing out of control and local firefighters are only able to deal with 40 at a time…. Luckily many nations send firefighters to help them

[pmal]

Hoping it clears up quickly for y’all. We’ve been dealing with this for at least a portion of every summer since around 2016 in the Pacific Northwest. It’s hard to convey how awful it is until you experience it. Hope and pray that we actually take action to combat this kind of thing bc it’s miserable to go through

[YvesBelliveau]

As a Canadian, this is just how it's been the last few years and it's been getting worse and worse. I'm sorry it's affecting you guys down there, but I am very grateful for the increased awareness due to this. I wish we would stop just brushing this aside as if it were nothing. Imagine if we started addressing this when we first found out this was going to be such an issue?...

[debhansen]

It is horrific. Sending hope from New Zealand to you all, along with 45 of our firefighters to Alberta, Canada. Stay inside, New Yorkers

A few years ago a giant slaughterhouse in my home town burned down. It was advised to close all windows and stay indoors. It looked like a scene from a hell on earth movie scenario. The Clouds were pure black as far as the horizon. In the middle of the day it looked like weird eclipse lighting.

I know perfectly well what you felt because I have been through this many times unfortunately. In Portugal this happens almost every year in the middle of summer, the sun turns red, ashes falls all over the south of the country (where I live), and the streets are covered in shades of orange! It looks fantastic on video and photos in the cinematographic aspect but I hope this passes very fast because if it continues like this the worst part of all this can happen, like in 2018 here in Portugal

[danblanchard]

I'm in eastern Canada and apreaciate your message of solidarity with those affected. At this time of year we normally have no more than 30 fires. As of the time this video aired the count was147.

[richardboulier]

This is a very serious problem in Canada and why we moved out of the west coast. Every year this happens and the last summer we were in Vancouver it got this bad for almost a month. Unfortunately budgets have not been put into prevention of fires and now it's just reaction to fires which is obviously too late by then. It's only going to get worse and we need to pressure governments to do more and budget more towards future forest fire management. Really sorry for those people having to go through this. Please take care!

Happend couple years ago in L.A with the Bobcat fire. The entire county had orange sky

I haven't watched Casey in like almost 6 years since he stopped his vlog every day schedule and when he moved to LA. Randomly just watched this one as I saw it in the feed and seeing the old old classic nyc 2015-16 studio and the NYC type casey vlog really put me in a nostalgic mood
