What’s happening - The air quality index or “AQI” is a basic scale running from 0 to 500. The greater the level of air pollution, the greater the health concern.

As of June 8th, the fires have been minimally contained and are expected to continue burning. Smoke conditions in our area will continue to fluctuate over the next week.
