Tuesday late afternoon looking west from Railyard mall, Merritt BC
Update: 9:32 PM
Orange alert air quality is still in effect.

Some smoke from the US west coast fires are about in Merritt , We expect it to clear on Thursday / Friday.
The fire season in Bc was the lowest since 2017 /18 now with shorter days and increased humidity overnight we are better off then our American cousins.
Serious issue, as the death toll rises above 30 people in the US and cadaver are out looking for dozens of missing. Stay safe!
