WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. — The Cariboo is expected to be impacted by wildfire smoke over the next two days.
In a special air quality statement, Environment Canada says the Cariboo, including Williams Lake, and 100 Mile regions can expect additional smoke near new and active wildfires over the next 24-to-48 hours.
The weather agency notes smoke conditions can vary hour-by-hour, and residents are asked to limit their time outdoors or reschedule activities and events as smoke levels increase. Residents who must spend time outdoors are encouraged to use a proper respirator mask such as an N95.
When indoors, residents are asked to keep their windows and doors closed as much as possible, along with using a clean air filter in their ventilation system or a portable air cleaner.
