...AIR QUALITY HEALTH ADVISORY FOR WILDFIRE SMOKE FROM 900 AM
TUESDAY UNTIL 900 AM WEDNESDAY...

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has
issued the following...

WHAT...Air Quality Health Advisory for Wildfire Smoke.

WHERE...Routt, Grand, Rio Blanco, Eagle, Garfield and Jackson
Counties. Locations include, but are not limited to Steamboat
Springs, Granby, Hot Sulphur Springs, Kremmling, Meeker, Rangely,
Eagle, Vail, Glenwood Springs and Walden.

WHEN...900 AM Tuesday August 05 to 900 AM Wednesday August 06

IMPACTS...Smoke from several fires in Rio Blanco and Garfield
Counties will produce areas of moderate to heavy smoke on Monday
and Tuesday. The greatest impacts are expected in areas in the
immediate vicinity of these fires, particularly in sheltered areas
and low lying terrain. Additional smoke impacts may be experienced
across the advisory area due to transport of smoke on Tuesday and
Wednesday.

HEALTH INFORMATION...Public Health Recommendations: If smoke is
thick or becomes thick in your neighborhood you may want to remain
indoors. This is especially true for those with heart disease,
respiratory illnesses, the very young, and older adults. Consider
limiting outdoor activity when moderate to heavy smoke is present.
Consider relocating temporarily if smoke is present indoors and is
making you ill. If visibility is less than 5 miles in smoke in
your neighborhood, smoke has reached levels that are unhealthy.
