Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Take extra precautions when outside.

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has issued an Air Quality Alert for July 15, 2026, for elevated levels of fine particulate due to wildfire smoke. Pollutants within those areas are expected to be in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups with the potential for Unhealthy, especially north.
This is a Statewide Air Quality Alert
Plumes of smoke from Canadian wildfires are expected to move into the region this week. The plumes will reach the upper peninsula this evening, sinking into the northern lower peninsula overnight. Models are showing the smoke plumes will reach the Michigan/Indiana border Wednesday evening.
It is recommended that, when possible, you avoid strenuous outdoor activities, especially those with heart disease and respiratory conditions like asthma. Watch for symptoms including wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, dizziness, or burning in nose, throat, and eyes. You can help reduce air pollution by limiting activities, such as:
- outdoor burning;
- use of residential wood burning devices.
Tips for households:
- Keep windows closed overnight to prevent smoke from getting indoors and, if possible, run central air conditioning with MERV-13 or higher rated filters.
