Aisix wildfire modelling validated by Canada's 2025 fire season
Aisix Solutions (TSXV:AISX) said that its predictive wildfire modelling has been tragically validated by real-world events Aisix's wildfire modelling was built from its BurnP3+ framework, which integrates machine learning, physics-based modelling, and climate projections to simulate wildfire behaviour More than 20,000 square kilometers have burned across the country so far this year Aisix stock (TSXV:AISX) opened at $0.05 As Canada grapples with one of its most destructive wildfire seasons in recent memory, Aisix Solutions (TSXV:AISX), a provider of wildfire data and analytics, has announced that its predictive wildfire modelling has been tragically validated by real-world events. In early 2025, Aisix released two key reports: Top 10 Canadian small population centres at risk of wildfires and Top ten small Ontario municipalities at risk of wildfires . These reports identified several communities at heightened risk—some of which are now facing severe wildfire impacts. Among them are Fort Smith, Swan Hills, and Kenora, all currently experiencing devastating fires. 'The fires we are currently seeing in communities highlighted in Aisix's reports underscore the urgent need for proactive risk management and the value that wildfire intelligence can deliver to governments, industry, and communities alike,' Aisix Solutions' CEO, Mihalis Belantis said in a news release. According to the Canadian Wildland Fire Information System, more than 20,000 square kilometers have burned across the country so far this year. The Associated Press reports that over 25,000 residents have been evacuated from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. Aisix's wildfire modelling was built from its BurnP3+ framework, which integrates machine learning, physics-based modelling, and climate projections to simulate wildfire behaviour under both current and future climate conditions. This advanced approach has enabled the company to pinpoint high-risk areas with remarkable accuracy. In February 2025, Aisix scored a contract with the Climate Risk division of a major S&P 500 company to provide wildfire modelling data, initially focusing on Alberta with plans to expand nationwide. The company's Wildfire 3.0 data is now being used by governments, insurers, infrastructure operators, and emergency response teams to better understand and respond to wildfire threats. As wildfire seasons grow longer and more intense due to climate change, Aisix emphasizes that historical data alone is no longer sufficient. The company is inviting stakeholders to request a demo of Wildfire 3.0 to explore how its predictive modelling can support risk mitigation, emergency preparedness, and climate resilience strategies. Aisix Solutions helps people, businesses and governments around the world analyze, manage and mitigate climate-related risks. Aisix stock (TSXV:AISX) opened 30 per cent higher at $0.05.

Canadian wildfires to cause smoke, low air quality in New Hampshire, Maine. See map
As wildfires continue to spread through the prairies of Canada, smoke is traveling down into central and eastern United States, including New Hampshire and Maine. While the smoke may cloud your vision of the sky or ruin a day at the beach on this week's warmest days of the season so far, it is more than just a nuisance. All across the U.S., the smoke is causing poor air quality, which can cause health effects from mild symptoms in the healthy to dangerous risks for sensitive groups. An air quality warning has been issued for Portsmouth by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services. Here's what to know about the wildfire smoke and its effects in New Hampshire and Maine. In Maine, smoke should begin to thin out on Thursday. In New Hampshire, the hazy skies are currently expected to last through Friday. A cold front is expected to move into New Hampshire this weekend, causing rain showers and thunderstorms that will likely help to push most of the smoke out of the region, according to the National Weather Service. However, smoke may continue to affect the region if Canada's wildfires continue for longer. Currently, there are almost 200 wildfires still active in Canada, according to the Canadian Wildland Fire Information System. NH summer weather: When will it get hot in New Hampshire? See Farmers' Almanac summer forecast Due to the traveling wildfire smoke, an air quality alert has been issued for both southeastern New Hampshire and the coast of Maine. The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services warns of unhealthy air quality due to elevated ozone and dangerous fine particles in the air in Rockingham County, including Portsmouth. In Maine, particle pollution levels are expected to rise statewide, while ozone levels will become unhealthy for sensitive groups on Wednesday, June 4 and Thursday, June 5. Both states advise that individuals limit outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health effects, including irritated sinuses, stinging eyes, coughing, shortness of breath and even a rapid heartbeat. People who may be especially sensitive to the air pollutants include children, the elderly, those with heart disease and those with pre-existing respiratory conditions, such as asthma or bronchitis.

Canadian wildfire smoke blows over to Europe
Plumes of smoke from the wildfires burning in Canada have been blown across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe, with more expected to arrive this week, satellite data shows. The first plume hit the Mediterranean region on May 18, and a larger one reached northwestern Europe on June 1, with more expected to hit Europe this week, Europe's Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) reported Tuesday. Large, out-of-control fires continue to rage from B.C. to Ontario, forcing more than 17,000 people to flee their homes in Manitoba, and thousands more in other provinces, including Alberta and Saskatchewan. Mark Parrington, a senior scientist with CAMS, said the long-distance movement of smoke plumes was a "reflection of the scale of the fires and impacts they have been having in Manitoba and Saskatchewan." While the smoke is expected to lead to hazy skies and red-orange sunsets in Europe, it's not expected to have a significant impact on surface air quality there, as the smoke is high above the ground. Besides heading east to Europe, smoke from the wildfires is also blowing southeast to other parts of Canada and into the upper Midwest in the U.S., causing "hazardous" air quality in some areas. This year's wildfires have already burned 2.1 million hectares, according to the Canadian Wildland Fire Information System. Fire danger is extreme across much of the regions where wildfires are raging, thanks to hot, dry and windy conditions — the kinds of weather conditions that are more likely and intense due to human-caused climate change. WATCH | The fire weather pattern everyone is watching: The fires themselves are also producing huge amounts of climate-warming emissions: CAMS estimated that so far this year, Canadian wildfires had released 56 megatonnes of carbon by June 2. That's second highest for this time of year, just behind 2023, a record-breaking year for wildfires.
