KAMLOOPS — Smoke is once again settling over the Kamloops air space as wildfires continue to burn across parts of southern B.C.
While hazy skies may become a familiar sight during the summer months, health officials stress the smoke can still pose a serious health risk, especially for those most vulnerable.
While the smoke may come and go depending on changing weather patterns, Interior Health says exposure to wildfire smoke can affect anyone. Children, seniors, those in pregnancy and those with heart or lung conditions facing the greatest risk.
