Smoky Skies Bulletin - September 8, 2020

Long-range transport of wildfire smoke from the United States has impacted air quality levels throughout much of southern BC including the Island, coastal mainland, the Okanagan, as well as the Kootenays and boundary. Localized impacts in the East and West Kootenays are expected from the Doctor Creek and Talbott Creek wildfires. 

The next bulletin update will be available September 09, 2020.

The bulletin can be accessed online at: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/environment/air-land-water/air/air-quality/air-advisories 

During a wildfire, smoke conditions can change quickly over short distances and can vary considerably hour-by-hour. Wildfire smoke is a natural part of our environment but it is important to be mindful that exposure to smoke may affect your health. People with pre-existing health conditions, respiratory infections such as COVID-19, older adults, pregnant women and infants, children, and sensitive individuals are more likely to experience health effects from smoke exposure.

If you or those in your care are exposed to wildfire smoke, consider taking extra precautions to reduce your exposure. Wildfire smoke is a constantly changing mixture of particles and gasses which includes many chemicals that can harm your health. For more details, please consult www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/air-quality-health-index/wildfire-smoke.html 

For more information on current air quality, visit http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/environment/air-land-water/air 

Visit www.airhealth.ca for information on how to reduce your health risk and your personal contribution to pollution levels, as well as for current and forecast AQHI values.

Wildfire Smoke

Thank you to those concerned about the smell and sight of hazy smoke in our area and contacted 911 or the firehall.  Your vigilance is reassuring.

The hazy, smelly smoke has been determined to be most likely originating from the massive California wildfires.  The Cowichan Valley region is enveloped in it at present.

You can check the smoke map at http://firesmoke.ca/

We are urging all residents and visitors with respiratory compromise to stay indoors at this time.  Wear your COVID mask outdoors.  Avoid strenuous activities. 

There is still a complete ban on all outdoor fires on Thetis other than propane appliances. 

We are continuing in HIGH Hazard, and all “high risk activities” must be completed by 11 am with a two-hour fire watch thereafter.

Immediately report all smoke columns to 911.
