Currently, the air quality for our area is  'Unhealthy' with an Air Quality Index (AQI) above 150 due to wildfire smoke. Everyone should avoid vigorous outdoor or indoor exertion. People with respiratory or heart disease, older adults, and children should remain indoors. Keep windows and doors closed. Continue to run the air conditioner.
