Anyone who鈥檚 stepped outside today has probably either seen or smelled smoke. But where鈥檚 it coming from?

黑料吃瓜网 asked that question to NWT Fire, who referred us to FireSmoke Canada, .

From what that map shows, at 8:00 a.m. Thursday, the bulk of smoke that made its way up into the NWT was coming from a cluster of about 15 wildfires in Alberta.

The map projected that trend to continue until noon. At that point, about 10 or so fires from northern British Columbia are forecast carry its smoke into the NWT as well.

By 3:00 a.m. on Friday, most of that smoke should have left Yellowknife and most of the NWT, also according to the map鈥檚 projections.

Thomas Bentham, an information officer with NWT Fire, told 黑料吃瓜网 on Thursday there鈥檚 nothing to worry about right now, noting there are air monitoring stations all around the NWT.

鈥淚f it ever got to a point where the air quality was poor or a hazard to people's health to a certain degree, we would issue statements," he said. "Right now, it's pretty light.鈥�

One message NWT Fire has been trying to push, said Bentham, is that all residents are responsible for their campfires. 

He said to not abandon a campfire fire and, when putting them out, soak it, stir it and soak it again.
