Smoke gets into our eyes

Letter to the editor

Editor, The Gazette:

Today, in Grand Forks, we’re all staying indoors — not because of forest fires in B.C., but

because of those just South of us in Washington State, all of them out of control.

We know exactly how people feel in California, Oregon, and Washington, because we’re sharing their smoke-polluted air.

And there isn’t a single air-purifier to be had online!

Huguette Kihl,

Grand Forks
