I live in NJ, along the coast. Air quality was so bad on Wednesday that I was sent home early from work and we worked remotely. Most of it is coming from Canada, but there is also a forest fire 20 minutes due west of us that has burned 200 acres and is still smoldering. I just stepped outside and today seems so much better. I hope our neighbors to the north can say the same. I hate to think about all the trees and wildlife that have been destroyed. Stay safe everyone.
