The Voice of the Community Since 1909, Serving Moorcroft and Pine Haven, Wyoming

Red sky in the morning

The sun is coming up red and people are having a little more trouble breathing easily outside with scratchy throats and maybe even a small cough. With the air currents moving smoke from the wildfires in Washington and Canada our way, those sensitive to the fumes may want to limit their time outdoors. Moorcroft and Pine Haven are currently moderate on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s air quality index, meaning the smoke is not too bad except for the previously mentioned people with breathing difficulties. To keep up with the smoke affecting this area and others, go to airnow.gov to better plan upcoming outdoor activities.
