A special air quality statement is out for the City of Calgary.
Grassfires are producing smoke, leading to reduced visibility and causing poor air quality in the city, as well as regions near and south of Calgary.
Individuals may experience symptoms like coughing, throat irritation, headaches, or shortness of breath.
Children, seniors and those with cardiovascular or lung disease, such as asthma, are especially at risk.
