A wild new video shows a train surrounded by flames in the middle of the growing wildfires in Ontario, Canada. The train made it through, no one was hurt. As Fox's Bane Froney reports, more than 100 wildfires are burning in Canada, with winds carrying the smoke to some parts of the U.S. It's now carrying the equally dangerous smoke southeast invading parts of the U.S. It feels like we're like in an apocalyptic war zone or something. To make matters worse, hot, dry, windy conditions are fanning the flames of active wildfires burning in Minnesota. The access is a huge challenge. The fire weather has been a big challenge for our firefighters. Thick plumes of orange tinge smoke are spreading across New York. We are reaching into a level of air quality that is dangerous for every single New Yorker. Air quality alerts are extending as far as New England. More than 124 million people could be breathing in small particles from the smoke that can get lodged into lungs. You get burning in your throat, you get eyes tearing, and then you have a little bit of trouble breathing. Sometimes the air is bad enough to see or smell the smoke, but even if you don't see the pollution, it can still be unhealthy to breathe. If you have underlying heart conditions or asthma or are pregnant, it's best to stay inside. If you have to go outside, make it quick and wear an N95 mask. New Yorkers dealt with a similar situation in 2023, and officials say asthma-related emergency room visits increased by 82 percent. So we're expecting a spike. We're talking to the hospital emergency rooms about preparedness for this. Also here in New York, the high pollution levels are raising concerns for Sunday's FIFA World Cup final game.
