Hi! Mary ---- Haven't noticed any -- the Coast Mountains are high enough to obscure the interior where the fires are, and quite often the peaks are capped with cumulus even further obscuring any view inland.
For many years, however, there has been a noticeable "smeech" on most summer days, expecially when there is a South-Easterly breeze, essentially spreading from the First Narrows area, up the coast past Sechelt. Looks like pollution from the metropolitan Vancouver area.
