The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has
issued the following...

WHAT...Air Quality Health Advisory for Wildfire Smoke.

Mesa Counties. Locations include, but are not limited to Delta,
Montrose, Nucla, Telluride, Ouray and Gunnison.

WHEN...900 AM Monday July 14 to 900 AM Tuesday July 15

IMPACTS...Multiple wildfires will produce periods of moderate to
heavy smoke across the advisory area through early Tuesday
morning. The heaviest smoke impacts will likely be in close
proximity to the South Rim fire in eastern Montrose County, the
Sowbelly Fire and Turner Gulch fires in southern Mesa County, and
areas directly downwind of the Deer Creek fire in Montrose and San
Miguel Counties.

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.
