Wildfire: Smoke Alert Issued
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has issued an ACTION DAY ALERT for the Front Range Urban Corridor from El Paso County north to Larimer and Weld counties, including the Denver-Boulder area, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins and Greeley.
The heaviest smoke is expected to affect Boulder, Larimer, and Weld Counties Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning, but significant smoke could also affect the greater Denver metro area later this evening through Wednesday morning. Residents of the Front Range region should monitor conditions. IF VISIBILITY IS LESS THAN 5 MILES IN SMOKE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, SMOKE HAS REACHED LEVELS THAT ARE UNHEALTHY. 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 the elderly. Consider limiting outdoor activity when moderate to heavy smoke is present. Consider relocating temporarily if smoke is present indoors and is making you ill.
