KAMLOOPS —  Kamloopsians can breathe easy.

At least for now.

Early Sunday afternoon Interior Health lifted the Smoky Skies Bulletin for the province due to improving air quality.

The decision was made by the Ministry of Environment & Climate Change Strategy in collaboration with the Interior and Northern Health Authorities.

Kamloops is currently measuring a level 2 on the Air Quality Health Index which is considered minimal risk.

Interior Health says while some wildfires remain active, the weather system that is moving through the Interior has significantly reduced the amount of smoke.

Local smoke may persist in areas close to active fires, and can vary widely as winds, fire behaviour and temperatures change.
