Smoke from Canadian wildfires continues to make the air in North Dakota unhealthy. The Air Quality Index is in the 100s today across the state, with officials warning residents to stay indoors if possible. The bad air quality could cause complications for those with respiratory issues. Smoke from over 400 fires in British Columbia and Alberta have pushed south, blanketing much of the northern U.S. in high-altitude haze. Pollutants in the air around Jamestown may reach nearly five times the healthy limit recommended by the EPA and CDC. Officials recommend checking the current air quality before going outdoors and travelling.
