An air quality alert has been extended to cover the city of Calgary as smoke from wildfires burning across Western Canada descended on parts of southern Alberta.
An orange haze due to wildfire smoke sits over downtown Calgary on Tuesday morning.
According to the agency, the air quality index for the city on Tuesday morning was listed at the top of the scale, at 10+, or "very high risk." For those without pre-existing conditions, they are advised to beware of developing symptoms while outside such as a sore throat or coughing. While the fire department said current fire conditions are moderate, they might change amid Tuesday's warm and windy conditions.
