Spread the word to family, friends and neighbors.

**UPDATE**

Officials from the EPA will be taking air samples this morning in and around the Pumpkin Patch festival in Egg Harbor to help ensure that there isn't a significant risk to folks in that area.

Individuals throughout the County with respiratory issues are still advised to be cautious if you are outdoors (especially if you plan on having any heavy exertion) as the plume can and will change depending on current wind conditions.

This event is likely to last throughout most of the weekend due to the size of the fire.

**AIR QUALITY ADVISORY**

Door County Emergency Management and Door County Public Health are monitoring the current conditions at the Menominee paper mill fire.

This fire is very large and current models factoring in wind speed and direction predict that most of the northern half of Door County (especially the Bay side) will be impacted by soot particulates that will affect air quality.

YOU MAY NOTICE AN ODOR OR SEE DEBRIS AS A RESULT OF THIS OVER THE NEXT 12+ HOURS. Those with respiratory issues should take extra precaution overnight and into the morning to avoid any type of heavy exertion while outdoors.

We will update this post if more pertinent news becomes available.
