Smoke and haze from a large fire have led to air quality concerns. The Ross Fire, which has burned 80,000 acres, is causing unhealthy smog levels. People with respiratory conditions, children, and older adults are among those who should take precautions.

These groups are advised to limit their time outdoors and choose less strenuous activities. Those who are sensitive to particle pollution should also reduce their outdoor activities. Further information on the affected areas and necessary precautions is available from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
