NEW YORK - New Yorkers walking outside were bathed in an orange haze from the smoke of the Canadian wildfires covering the Big Apple. 

The smoke from the Canadian wildfires caused officials to issue an Air Quality Health Advisory until Thursday morning. The air problems had New Yorkers donning face masks again and parents ran to schools to pick up their children early as the sky continued to darken. 

Views of the Manhattan skyline glowing orange look like something out of a dystopian Sci Fi movie.

In the Bronx, Morris Park was covered in a fog of smoke that made the afternoon commute look like nightfall.
