The Deets

Okay, so boom. Canada is going through it with these wildfires, straight up. And the smoke? It's not just staying north of the border. Michigan's air quality is looking kinda dusty, with EGLE dropping air quality advisories statewide. That means the air might be sketch, especially for anyone with heart or lung issues, or if you're preggo, old, a kid, or just grinding outdoors.

But Michigan ain't the only one. Places like Wisconsin, parts of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and northern Minnesota are also dealing with this smoky sitch. Even Chicago might get hit. The smoke is predicted to spread to the South and East, but hopefully, things will clear up soon with a change in the weather pattern. Fingers crossed, amirite?

Animals are also feeling the effects, so def bring your pets inside, no cap! They can have the same problems as humans when the air is trash. Also, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is saying to keep an eye on the air quality and chill on the outdoor workouts. Stay safe out there, y'all!

If you wanna stay extra informed, you can sign up for alerts through EnviroFlash. It'll keep you updated on the air quality in your area. Knowledge is power, especially when you're tryna breathe clean air!

Oh, and BTW Manitoba declared a whole state of emergency. The town Flin Flon had to be evacuated! Stay safe everyone!
