⚠️ AIR QUALITY ALERT FOR OUR COMMUNITY ⚠️
Smoke from the Canadian wildfires has moved into our area, creating poor air quality that can affect everyone—especially children, older adults, and those with asthma, allergies, or other breathing conditions.
If you absolutely need to be on the road today, here are a few simple ways to help protect yourself and your family:
🚗 Turn on your vehicle's RECIRCULATION mode.
This keeps your vehicle from continuously pulling smoky outside air into the cabin and instead recirculates the air already inside.
🌬️ Make sure your cabin air filter is in good condition.
Your cabin air filter helps trap dust, pollen, smoke particles, and other contaminants before they enter your vehicle. A dirty or clogged filter can't do its job effectively and may allow more smoke and odors into the cabin.
🚪 Keep your windows closed.
Even cracking a window can quickly let smoky air into your vehicle.
👶 Protect those who are most vulnerable.
If you're traveling with young children, elderly family members, or anyone with respiratory conditions, these simple steps can make a noticeable difference.
❤️ Please take care of yourselves today.
If you've been noticing a strong smoke smell inside your vehicle or aren't sure when your cabin air filter was last replaced, we're happy to inspect it for you.

Stay safe, Chelsea.
