Wildfire Smoke and Air Quality Advisory

Residents may notice increased smoke, haze, and ash in our area due to ongoing wildfire activity. Smoke conditions can change quickly based on wind direction and weather patterns, and air quality may be affected even when fires are located a significant distance away.

The health impacts of wildfire smoke can vary from person to person. Children, older adults, and individuals with heart or lung conditions may be more sensitive to smoke exposure.

Residents are encouraged to take the following precautions:

• Monitor local air quality conditions before spending extended time outdoors.
• Limit strenuous outdoor activities when smoke levels are elevated.
• Keep windows and doors closed when air quality is poor.
• Run air conditioning systems on the recirculate setting when possible.
• Consider using a properly fitted N95 mask if you must spend extended time outdoors during periods of poor air quality.
• Avoid activities that add smoke or particles to the air, such as outdoor burning,

Please check on family members, neighbors, and community members who may be more affected by smoke conditions.

There is no greater accomplishment than helping save a life.

Tonight, at the Sault Tribe Board of Directors meeting, we recognized several officers with the Life Saving Award for their decisive actions and commitment to serving our community. When called upon, they relied on their training in CPR and AED use to provide critical care during a life-threatening emergency.

Their professionalism, quick response, and dedication made a difference when it mattered most. We are proud to honor these officers for their outstanding efforts and service. (Officers: Thorne, Skinner, Lubben and Nainan).

Bear Safety Reminder for our Communities:

Just a quick reminder that Bears are active in our area and are often looking for easy food. We can help keep bears wild and our families safe by removing things that attract them.

Please remember to:

• Take down bird feeders when bears are active. Bears love bird seed and can smell it from far away.
• Keep garbage in a secure place and only put it outside on pickup day.
• Clean grills after use and store pet food indoors.
• Keep garage doors closed, especially if food, garbage, or other scented items are stored inside.
• Pick up fallen fruit and other food sources around your yard.

When bears find food near homes, they often come back looking for more. By removing these food sources, we help protect our community and the bears that share this land with us.

Thank you for doing your part to keep everyone safe.
