Smoke Alert: Sedona Fire Threatens Air Quality | Mesa News

Smoke from the Pocket Fire near Sedona is spreading north, triggering hazardous air quality alerts for areas like Kachina Village and Flagstaff. Already burning over 11,000 acres and zero percent contained, the fire is fueled by dry, hot, and windy conditions. Health officials urge residents to stay indoors, close windows, and avoid exercise when pollution levels spike. The smoke is also causing Flagstaff’s first-ever ozone advisory — a dangerous mix of wildfire particles and urban pollutants that can harm lungs, especially for those with asthma. Monitor air quality updates and use air conditioning, not swamp coolers, to stay safe. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
