...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM PDT SUNDAY...

Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Air
Quality Advisory...in effect until 8 PM PDT Sunday evening.

The advisory is in effect for eastern Douglas County, including
Diamond Lake, Toketee Falls, Steamboat, and Tiller.

Wildfires burning in the region combined with forecast conditions
will cause air quality levels to fluctuate and could be at unhealthy
levels.

Smoke levels can change rapidly depending on the weather. People at
risk include infants and young children, people with heart or lung
disease, older adults and pregnant people.

People can take the following precautions to protect their health:

- Follow local burn restrictions to prevent deteriorating air quality.
- Avoid strenuous outdoor activity during periods of poor air quality.
- 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.
