Smoky Skies Back Again

PRINCE GEORGE – The wildfire smoke back in the city again –  a special air quality statement remains in effect this morning as more smoke is expected today and tonight.  

Northern Health recommends during smoky conditions to follow common sense, reduce outdoor activity, stay cool, and carry rescue medications.  There are many ways to reduce your exposure including keeping windows closed,  using a HEPA filter, or seeking out filtered air conditioning at places like the mall and the public library.

There is a low risk of long-term effects of wildfire smoke exposure for healthy individuals –  but those who are compromised including the young, elderly and pregnant should be monitored on a regular basis.
