Air Quality Update

Air quality conditions this afternoon have slightly improved since this morning but are still unhealthy for sensitive groups. Remember, open and outdoor burning is prohibited.

The best thing to do is to limit your exposure to the smoke.

  • Stay indoors whenever possible, 
  • Use air conditioners 
  • Close your windows in your house and in your car 
  • Minimize other sources of air pollution such as smoking tobacco, using wood burning stoves, burning candles or incense and vacuuming. Staying hydrated (by drinking lots of water)
