Officials in the province of Quebec said the next 48 hours will be crucial, with rain forecast for Monday and warmer, humid conditions until then.
MONTREAL — Canadians fighting the wildfires that have sent a hazardous haze over the country's northeast and much of northeastern United States saw a glimpse of hope Saturday with expectations of favorable weather in the coming days.
Another major fight against wildfires is taking place in Lebel-sur-Quévillon, a northern municipality where the province's largest fire is burning. The situation is stable in Chibougaumau, Mistissini, Chapais and Oujé-Bougoumou, authorities said. Provincial authorities say 13,810 Quebecers have been evacuated due to the wildfire situation in the province.
The positive forecast Saturday comes a day after Canadian and U.S. officials said the haze was easing and the wildfire situation in Quebec improving.
