Smoke from Canadian wildfires has made its way into Bergen County and is expected to remain in the area through at least tomorrow.

If you notice smoky conditions, they may be related to the regional wildfire smoke. However, if you see smoke or fire that you believe may be an emergency, please do not hesitate to call 911.

We encourage everyone to stay aware of local air quality conditions and take appropriate precautions, especially those with respiratory conditions, older adults, and young children.

If you plan to attend, please:

    •    Drink plenty of water before and during the parade.
