At 11:07 a.m. on Thursday, the National Weather Service reported an air quality alert in effect until Friday at 11:15 a.m. for Deschutes County.
"Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Air Quality Advisory until 10 a.m. Monday. For the Air Quality Advisory, stagnant air conditions will trap smoke and other air pollutants near the ground where people breathe. Check with your local health or air agency for current restrictions on woodstove use. There are often exceptions for those who use wood exclusively to heat their homes and those with limited income. People can take the following precautions to protect their health: Follow local burn restrictions to prevent deteriorating air quality. Avoid strenuous outdoor activity in smoky conditions. People with heart or lung problems and young children are especially vulnerable. These people should stay indoors while smoke levels are high. Use certified High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters in indoor heating ventilation, cooling, and air purification systems. Avoid using wood-burning stoves and other sources of indoor smoke if possible," according to the weather service.
