Special Statement 
Learn the air quality index numbers and colors: During
periods of poor air quality, watch for air quality alerts, pay attention to numbers and colors of air quality monitors, and know when to limit your time outdoors. EPA Smoke Sense is an app that allows you to check current conditions on
iPhone and Android. • fire.airnow.gov is a great website that provides even more local information.
Fire 
The four fires in the area are Tiger Island (31,082 ac); Elizabeth (940 ac); Hwy. 113 (7,709 ac) and Lions Camp Rd.(785 ac). Low potential for fire activity or smoke today because of firefighters’ work, recent rains, low winds and high humidity. 
Smoke 
Light smoke in the vicinity of large fuels that continue to smolder. Heat scorched leaves and pine needles have fallen and have covered some of the burned areas. Those areas have the potential for reburn if they did not receive any rain the last two days. Reburn would cause higher levels of smoke in localized areas. None of the communities in the area will be impacted by smoke from the fires. Expect to see only light smoke in the immediate vicinity of a fire or on interior roads. All monitor locations should see less smoke today due to low fire activity, light winds and high humidity. All communities should experience GOOD air quality.
