IDAHO — Nearby wildfires have created unhealthy, smoky skies across the Treasure Valley this week.

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare suggests:
- Using a strong air purifier
- Clean regularly using fragrance-free or low-odor products
- Limiting items in the room that can hold dust, like rugs and stuffed toys
- Utilizing an air quality monitor
