Montgomery County is receiving a significant influx of 9-1-1 calls reporting smoke, a haze, and/or a general burning odor throughout Montgomery County this evening. Based on reports from the US National Weather Service Philadelphia/Mount Holly, the cause is believed to be smoke moving into our area from wildfires in Canada.
Residents are urged to use their best judgment when deciding to call 9-1-1 to report conditions such as those described above. However, if you are unsure of whether or not you need the fire department to respond, as always, we encourage you to call or text 9-1-1.
