CHILLIWACK — An air quality advisory issued on Sept. 10 for the Fraser Valley due to smoke from wildfires burning in B.C. and the U.S. is still in effect.
Wildfires burning near Manning Park (Heather Lake), in Washington state (Bolt Creek), and in Hope (Flood Falls Trail) are some of the fires producing smoke that is impacting the region.
Today, a gradual improvement in air quality may occur in parts of the region, but fine particulate matter concentrations are still high in many areas.
At this time, it is not expected that air quality will significantly improve until there is a change in the weather. Smoke concentrations may vary widely across the region as winds and temperatures change, and as wildfire behaviour changes.
