Mesa Counties. Locations include, but are not limited to Delta,

HEALTH INFORMATION...Public Health Recommendations: If smoke is

respiratory illnesses, the very young, and older adults. Consider
limiting outdoor activity when moderate to heavy smoke is present.
Consider relocating temporarily if smoke is present indoors and is
making you ill. If visibility is less than 5 miles in smoke in
your neighborhood, smoke has reached levels that are unhealthy.
