LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Wildfire smoke from multiple large wildfires in California, and the Davis Fire in Reno, have created hazy conditions in the Las Vegas Valley.
The Clark County Division of Air Quality issued a smoke alert on Wednesday morning. Seniors, children, and those with respiratory or heart diseases are advised to stay inside until conditions improve.
“Wildfire smoke is made of small particles and other pollutants that can aggravate respiratory diseases such as bronchitis and asthma or heart disease,” a county spokesperson said in a release.
Residents are also urged to keep windows and doors closed, and limit outdoor exercise. Additionally, indoor air filters should be changed if they are dirty.
