Quebecers living north of the St. Lawrence River could be affected by poor air quality as a result of the forest fires that are still raging. Early on Thursday, Environment Canada issued a special air quality bulletin for the entire northern part of the province, warning that, as a result of the forest fires, 'high concentrations of fine particles are causing poor air quality' for the next few days.
Hot, dry conditions are forecast to continue through the weekend in regions of Quebec threatened by wildfires.
In the northern Quebec town of Lebel-sur-Quevillon, Mayor Guy Lafreniere says winds are pushing the fire away from the main road connecting the community to the rest of the province -- but flames are now moving toward the town itself.
