  3. Smoke on Monday. Surreal skies and toxic air. #albertafires #alberta second picture was taken this morning. Beautiful mist, cold, clean air after a solid rain.

  4. It might LOOK better out, and it is, but it's still high enough an N95 mask, or any mask if you don't have an N95, is a good idea. Anything over about 25 micrograms per meter cubed of PM2.5 hurts your health, cognitive ability, and can cause both short term and long term effects. #YEG #AlbertaFires

  5. Smoke from the Alberta fires is creating some wicked Chicago sunsets, including the Pac-Sun. 👻

  6. #alberta #albertafires unpleasant here these days. Terrible for the people who lost their homes and livelihoods. So many animals died and dying. Here at our home the humans, dogs and cats can stay indoors. My horses and all the other animals get to breathe in toxicity 24 hours a day.

  7. Very smoky sunset in Federal Way tonight due to smoke aloft from #albertafires. Thankfully no air quality impacts, and it makes for a pretty sunset. First time I can remember smoke in the spring. #wawx

  8. Just how bad is the air in Calgary right now?

    This chart shows the past five days.

    Huge spike in particulate matter on Tuesday and, after a brief reprieve overnight, it's surging again today. 😷

  9. The Critical Alerts page points you to the ALBERTA wild fire page. They show two types: All and Fires of Note. When you read, just know these are only the forest areas the PROVINCE has responsibility to fight fires. Municipalities are not listed and so this is not a full list.
    These are the areas that helicopter crews were covering for first response. It is vast areas of the province.

  10. My 18-month-old loves playing outside so it was really fun trying to explain to him this morning when he pointed at the patio door and said "Out? Out?" that he can't right now because the air is not safe to breathe. 🙃

  12. This is what it looks like outside for me right now in Calgary as result of the wildfires in northern Alberta, and yes it does smell like a firepit.
