Wildfire smoke from the Prairies prompted special air quality statements and warnings across the country Saturday.

For the full 24 hours of Aug. 3, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is issuing an air quality health advisory for the Western New York, Eastern Lake Ontario and Adirondacks regions.

"Breathing in the Canadian wildfires smoke cannot be the new normal," said Candice Miller, Macomb County public works commissioner.
