Wildfire smoke from Mexico triggers smoke advisory for Clark County

Wildfire smoke from Mexico has triggered a smoke advisory in Clark County for the next two days.

Forecasters say wildfire smoke originating northeast of Ensenada, Mexico, will drift into the Vegas Valley late Wednesday afternoon and continue into Thursday, according to a release from Clark County’s Division of Air Quality.

According to the EPA, people who may be most sensitive to elevated levels of particulates and ozone include individuals with respiratory problems, cardiac disease, young children and senior citizens.

Consult your physician if you have a medical condition that makes you sensitive to air quality conditions.
