The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a warning for increased wildfire risk across much of eastern Pennsylvania and the surrounding region on Friday.
The code orange alert, issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, means that air pollution concentrations in the region may become unhealthy for sensitive groups, including children, people with asthma, heart disease or lung disease, and the elderly.
Officials said the Code Orange Air Quality alert was issued Tuesday morning because ozone concentrations in the area may approach or exceed unhealthy standards.
Lower Saucon Township Police officers will be assisting with traffic control on local roadways leading to and from the campus during these events, the department said Friday in an announcement on its Crimewatch site.
Due to worsening air quality caused by smoke from vast Canadian wildfires, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection upgraded the Code Orange air quality alert it issued yesterday to a Code Red alert for Wednesday, and some local outdoor activities are being postponed or canceled.
If it seems like there's haze on the horizon, it's not your imagination. Canadian and other wildfires--including one that broke out in Northampton County Monday--are to blame for the poor air quality across eastern Pennsylvania. In reponse to it, the state's Department of Environmental Protection declared Tuesday a Code Orange Air Quality Action Day due to the pollutants in the air.
UPDATE: Lower Saucon Police announced on Crimewatch Saturday afternoon that they had located Christian.
