From the advisory:
“Wildfire smoke is causing or expected to cause very poor air quality and reduced visibility.
Air quality and visibility due to wildfire smoke can fluctuate over short distances and can vary considerably from hour to hour.
The combination of heat and very poor air quality in smoke will increase the risk to your health.
During heavy smoke conditions, everyone is at risk regardless of their age or health. The fine particles in wildfire smoke pose the main health risk.
Limit time outdoors. Consider rescheduling or cancelling outdoor sports, activities and events.”
