| Smoke from the Canadian wildfires is causing a haze and smoky smells. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) at Albany has issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for Fine Particulates for our area until midnight tonight. The advisory recommends that individuals consider limiting strenuous outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health effects.
Please help us keep 911 available for true emergencies by not calling to report the general smell of smoke or hazy conditions. However, please call 911 immediately if you see an active fire (visible flames). |
