Northern Nevada Public Health Issues Air Quality Advisory Due to Smoke From Davis Creek Fire 09-07-2024

Northern Nevada Public Health’s (NNPH) Air Quality Management Division (AQMD) has issued an Air Quality Advisory due to the Davis Creek Fire burning in southern Washoe County.  

Air monitors for the most southern region have hit the “Unhealthy” range, which is 101-150 on the Air Quality Index (AQI). That means some members of the general public may experience health effects. Learn more about the AQI here. 

All residents in impacted areas are encouraged to regularly monitor the air quality nearest them on AirNow.gov’s Fire and Smoke Map and limit outdoor exposure when they see or smell smoke.
