IMPACTS...Smoke from several fires burning in Utah and Nevada is

quality through at least Thursday morning. Smoke levels could
increase or decrease rapidly at times during the advisory period
due to the very unstable atmospheric conditions.

HEALTH INFORMATION...Public Health Recommendations: 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 older adults. Consider
limiting outdoor activity when moderate to heavy smoke is present.
Consider relocating temporarily if smoke is present indoors and is
making you ill. If visibility is less than 5 miles in smoke in
your neighborhood, smoke has reached levels that are unhealthy.
