You probably saw a large amount of smoke in Edmonton yesterday, and it will continue to linger today.

A warning was issued by Alberta Health Services when the smoke first hit the city, and though it has gone down substantially, it’s still advised that  people with asthma or other breathing issues should refrain from inhaling too much of the smoke.

Even with the rain we are getting today, you’ll still smell quite a bit of the smoke in the air. It’s confirmed that the smoke is coming from the Fort McMurray Wildfire.

If you have respiratory issues AHS advises staying indoors and keeping windows closed. For more info, visit www.albertahealthservices.ca.
