Air quality has definitely deteriorated this afternoon.

As expected, smoke from wildfires in Northern Minnesota and Canada have drifted into our area. Please do not call 911 to report the general smoke in the air. Here are some tips from the Eau Claire City-County Health Department while the smoke is heaviest in our area:

⚠️ Higher risk groups:
• Children and older adults
• People with asthma, COPD, or heart disease
• Pregnant people
• Anyone who works or exercises outdoors

🏠 What you can do:
• Limit outdoor activity, especially strenuous exercise
• Keep windows closed and run your A/C or air purifier on recirculate
• If you must be outside, an N95/KN95 mask can help reduce exposure
• Watch for symptoms like coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, or unusual fatigue
• Reach out to a doctor if you’re struggling to breathe
