Smell smoke? Blame the Minnesota wildfire PDF Print E-mail

BELOIT -- The smoke and haze outside today in southern Wisconsin is coming from a wildfire raging in northeast Minnesota, according to the National Weather Service.

Northwest winds in the wake of a strong cold front have brought  smoke from the Pagami Creek wildfire into Wisconsin. There have been numerous reports of smoke and even some ash in the Northwoods region.

Earlier this morning, the visibility dropped to one and a half miles at Rhinelander due to the smoke. Although Visibility restrictions were not as pronounced at other locations, the scent of smoke was clearly evident across the entire region.

Some residents of north central Wisconsin have reported difficulty with breathing, irritated eyes and headaches as a result of the smoke.
Air quality likely will remain unhealthy at times in parts of north central and northeast Wisconsin over the next few days.

Children, elderly people, individuals with respiratory and cardiac problems or anyone engaged in strenuous outdoor activities for a prolonged period of time should use caution.
