Last night was bad (far east side of toronto... like Durham Region). It was over 180 and not only could I smell the smoke from inside the house, but my eyes were burning, too.

After closing the windows, the CO2 in here doubled. Lose, lose.

I can't imagine being <1000km away from those fires.

Having flashbacks to the fires from a couple of years ago. We were nowhere near (these were the Quebec fires IIRC) but outdoor AQI was bad for weeks, regularly topping 300 and peaking at 4-500. Had everything closed up, AC and multiple HEPA purifiers running, and it was still awful indoors.

Yeah, I remember that. We had HEPA filters running then, too. I couldn't go cycling during that time because of how bad the air quality was. Not good for anyone with sensitivities or lung/breathing problems.
