Rain is expected to bring relief to eastern Canada by clearing up smoky air from forest fires starting Sunday, but may take days to reach the largest fires in Quebec. As of Saturday morning, there were 426 fires across Canada, with 144 in Quebec. The fires have burned 4.4 million hectares so far, causing thousands of evacuations and spreading smoke as far as New York. While rain is expected to help, only 1-2cm is forecast for northern Quebec where the biggest fires are burning. More than 1,200 firefighters, including over 100 from France, are set to battle the blazes across Quebec.
