The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said an unusual weather pattern allowed the smoke to reach Connecticut. Reply MILFORD, CT – Milford Fire Department PIO Adam Hansen said the haze and odor of smoke seen throughout Milford is from the wildfires burning in Canada. 'Southern winds have brought up some of this smoke into Connecticut,' he said. 'If you have asthma or other underlying health conditions which could be affected, it is advisable to stay indoors if possible.' The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said the smoke's arrival from Nova Scotia is due to an unusual weather pattern allowing the smoke plume south of Nova Scotia to move west towards southern New England.
