No fires in the immediate area however smoke drifted in on Monday making the sun particularly red. We didn’t find our breathing effected, air conditioned, public buildings included the Public library, the Aquatic Center , the Civic Center. some restaurants were available to those that may be concerened .
The smoke was very much less severe by Wendnsday. Kudos to those that have to be out fighting these things.
