Bootleg fire in Oregon cause of red sun in London

 

The Bootleg fire in Oregon in the American northwest is the largest fire burning in the U.S. at present and it is immense. It has burned nearly 400,000 acres. The smoke from the Oregon fire is drifting right across the continent resulting in hazy red sunsets in London, Ontario, Canada, 2500 miles away.

The New York Times reported that New York City residents are now awakening to a hazy red sun thanks to the smoke from the west coast forest fire. Some experts estimate that the Bootleg fire, which at this point is still growing, may not be under control until sometime in November!
