(Undated) — Wildfire smoke from Canada is drifting into South Dakota, and it prompted a statewide air quality alert over the weekend. The state’s Departments of Health and Agriculture say smoke could lead to low visibility and higher pollution levels. The alert started Saturday and could continue into this week depending on conditions. Health officials warn that the smoke can be especially tough on kids, seniors, and anyone with breathing or heart issues. They recommend staying indoors, keeping windows closed, and avoiding strenuous activity outside. Real-time air quality updates are available on the state’s website.
