DENVER—Wildfires burning in California, Utah and western Colorado have made Colorado’s air hazy, clouded mountain views—and prompted advisories from state health officials.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Safety Tuesday advised young people, the elderly and those with heart disease and respiratory illnesses to stay inside if visibility was less than five miles in their neighborhoods. The areas affected the most are northwest and north-central Colorado.
Health officials say the highest concentrations of fine particulates that can cause health problems are generally north of Interstate 70 and as far east as the Front Range. They say the smoke should gradually diminish Tuesday evening.
