Air Quality - Smoke Advisory
Information

The state of Colorado has issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for Wildfire smoke in the region. 

Issued at 8:12 AM MDT, Wednesday, June 24, 2026

Issued for Rio Blanco, Garfield, Eagle, Pitkin, Mesa, Delta, Gunnison, Montrose, San Miguel, Ouray, Dolores, San Juan, Montezuma, La Plata, Hinsdale, Mineral and Saguache Counties

Outlook: Smoke from several fires burning in Utah and Nevada is being transported into Colorado and is expected to impact air quality through at least Thursday morning. Smoke levels could increase or decrease rapidly at times during the advisory period due to the very unstable atmospheric conditions.

If you are sensitive to smoke or have health issues, avoid going outside. Check the resources below to understand how wildfire smoke may impact our communities and decide if it’s healthy to play or work outdoors. Use fire.airnow.gov for real-time air quality data, and visit Eagle County’s Public Health and Wildfires webpage for more information about protecting yourself from the impacts of wildfires.
