DEQ has stopped issuing daily smoke forecasts due to reduced wildfire activity and improved air quality throughout the state. Air quality is forecast to remain in the Good air quality category for at least the next couple of days.
The emergency monitor in Fenn has gone down and will not be replaced unless conditions worsen.
To find an air quality forecast for your area, visit the DEQ's Daily Air Quality Reports and Forecasts webpage.
To find real-time air quality for your area, visit the DEQ’s real-time air quality page
To find information on wildfire activity, visit Inciweb
DEQ will start issuing daily smoke forecasts again if wildfire activity increases.Smoke forecasts are dependent on predicted fire growth and weather. If conditions change unexpectedly, impacts could occur. When visibility starts to go below 5 miles, sensitive groups should minimize outdoor activities. Everyone else should minimize prolonged or physical activity outdoors.
Refer to the Smoke
and Health Tab on the Idaho Smoke Information Blog for additional health information.
Your
eyes are your best tools to determine if it’s safe to be outside. Even if you smell smoke, the air
quality may still be good.
