I did see that BBC news item earlier, but on my initial speed-reading of it, I had the impression that it was about "Dramatic video shows wildlife surround freight train in Canada".

That train crew were lucky to survive. We’re visiting family in north Michigan. These wildfires are causing real issues here. For the last few days we’ve been advised to stay indoors. The air quality index for today is 65 “moderate”. Yesterday and the day before it varied between 430 and 500 “Hazardous”. By comparison I see that the AQI for Chippenham is currently 3!
