Maryland Under Code Red Smoke Alert | Dayton News

Maryland’s under a Code Red air quality alert as wildfire smoke from hundreds of miles away blankets the state — making the air unhealthy for everyone, especially those with preexisting conditions. Governor Wes Moore is urging residents to stay indoors, keep windows shut, and check on neighbors. Conditions are expected to linger through Saturday, with Western Maryland possibly hitting Code Purple — very unhealthy. With temps soaring into the 90s, outdoor activity is risky. If you must go outside, limit time and consider an N95 mask — though it may feel harder to breathe in the heat. Watch for coughing or shortness of breath, and seek help if symptoms worsen. Use AC to clean indoor air and look out for each other — especially vulnerable neighbors. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
