I had a bunch of these bookmarked when i was in BC.

A good one for Canada that also shows US is: Smoke Forecast - FireSmoke.ca - https://firesmoke.ca/forecasts/current/

I also highly recommend this one: earth :: a global map of wind, weather, and ocean conditions - https://earth.nullschool.net/

It shows wind patterns all over the world, and you can put different overlays to capture air quality, so not just fire smoke but other air pollution too.

If you're interested in the fires themselves (not just the smoke) this Firemappers dashboard captures a lot of the reports: ArcGIS Web Application - https://www.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=6dc469279760492d802c7ba6db45ff0e

Okay, not a smoke app, but a great fire info app for California (only at this time) is:

Watch Duty
(Icon is a white box with a flame in it)

Working near Shasta all summer, it was my go to for info on both the Weed and Mountain fires.

Just want to add, in case you are wondering about where the smoke is coming from, and whats up with fires (I use this to see if the train lines are being affected)its a national real time fire information website put together by the National Wildfire Coordination Group:
