Smoke from Canadian wildfires may impact air quality across Northern New Jersey over the next several days.

The Upper Saddle River Fire Department encourages residents to:

* ✔️ Check the Air Quality Index at AirNow.gov
* ✔️ Limit prolonged outdoor activity if air quality is unhealthy
* ✔️ Keep windows closed and use air conditioning on recirculate
* ✔️ Consider wearing a properly fitted N95 mask if extended time outdoors is necessary
* ✔️ Pay extra attention to children, older adults, and those with heart or lung conditions

If you experience difficulty breathing, chest pain, or worsening respiratory symptoms, seek medical care immediately.

Stay informed, stay hydrated, and take steps to protect your health until air quality improves.

One additional recommendation: wildfire smoke often settles into valleys and low-lying areas overnight and in the early morning when the atmosphere is more stable. If the AQI is only moderately elevated, outdoor activities are often better scheduled for the afternoon after mixing improves—though residents should always rely on current AQI readings, as conditions can change throughout the day.

Test your carbon monoxide alarms. Make sure they’re near sleeping areas and the batteries are working.

Carbon monoxide alarms save lives. Make sure yours are installed in the right places.

Install carbon monoxide alarms outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of your home. Test them regularly so they’re ready to give early warnings when you need them most.
