Environment Canada has issued another advisory for Calgary while the large area of the province still remains under a hazy sky. According to Environment Canada, poor air quality and reduced visibility will encompass areas including the BC border to the Calgary area, as far northwest as Grand Prairie and northeast to the Fort McMurray area.
According to a statement issued by Meteorologist Dan Kulak, it’s hard to say when this smoky air will move on as the source fires are still raging. He explained that “as long as they keep burning and we have wind coming from the direction of BC, where some of these fires are, or from the Northwest Territories where other fires are burning, or fires in Alberta, as long as that smoke is in the air we could have repeats of what we’ve seen in the last few days.” Meanwhile, Environment Canada has said that it expects air quality advisory to be imposed for at least the next 24 to 48 hours.
On the other hand, Alberta Health Services have warned for anyone with respiratory health problems to start observing their activities and seek professional medical help if required. Although wildfires are still ablaze in the province, they were relatively calm on Friday with only a few minor sparks starting from stormy weather overnight. The last update by the Environment and Sustainable Resources Development’s (ESRD) said that west of Grand Prairie, along the BC border, the Red Deer Creek fire is still the largest blaze.
