Wisconsin Smoke Alert: Health Tips | Madison News

Canadian wildfire smoke is blanketing Wisconsin, causing poor air quality and reduced visibility—especially bad Friday, but forecasters say it’ll ease up today. However, it’s expected to return tomorrow and linger through Sunday. Air quality hit “unhealthy” levels, posing serious risks for kids, seniors, and those with respiratory issues. The smoke, carried by wind from northern fires, contains fine particles that penetrate deep into lungs. Officials urge limiting outdoor time and wearing masks if you must go outside. The worst should clear by Saturday morning, but lingering effects are likely. For real-time updates and safety tips, check the Wisconsin Department of Health Services website.
