Public Health Offering N95 Masks to High Risk Residents During Wildfire Smoke

Huron Perth Public Health is rolling out free N95 respirators to residents in high risk settings for breathing issues due to smoke from wildfires.

Those in high risk include those with lung or heart disease, older adults, children, pregnant women and those who work outdoors.

Two masks can be picked up from public health offices in either Stratford or Clinton.

Huron Perth was under an air quality statement for the bulk of last week and while the situation has improved, public health says it could worsen again.
