You heard it folks, or at least hopefully you did if you were in town. The Crandon siren went off around 11:58am and then again at 12:00pm.

Honestly, haven’t heard it gone off in some time lol.
Managed to catch video on the wind down. 😄

Due to continued impacts from Canadian wildfire smoke, the current state-wide air quality advisory has been extended through Friday, Aug. 1, at noon.

Widespread Unhealthy (Red) AQI for PM2.5 is expected across Wisconsin on Thursday, with NowCast AQI values in the Very Unhealthy (Purple) category possible.

Sensitive groups: Consider rescheduling or moving all activities inside. Go inside if you have symptoms.

People with asthma: Follow your asthma action plan and keep quick-relief medicine handy.

People with heart disease: Symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, or unusual fatigue may indicate a serious problem. If you have any of these, contact your health care provider.

Everyone else: Keep outdoor activities shorter and less intense. Go inside if you have symptoms.

Conditions are expected to slowly improve beginning Friday. However, an AQI of Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (Orange) to Unhealthy (Red) will remain possible through the weekend. Conditions will be reevaluated on a day-to-day basis throughout the weekend, including updates to the forecast and any associated Air Quality Advisories.

Stay tuned to the air quality forecast as conditions can change quickly during wildfire smoke events. Find more details on this advisory on the Wisconsin Air Quality Monitoring Data website: https://airquality.wi.gov/home/map

We gotta rogue sign on the loose! Be on the look out, y’all!

I'm lost! Can you help me get back home? I was last seen on Saturday, July 19th on the corner of County Road G and Hwy 32 in Argonne. Have you seen me somewhere else? I miss my family, the Hiles Volunteer Fire Department & First Responders, and I miss my twin who's back at home on a fire truck! Plus, if I don't get home soon, I'll miss the Great Northern Music Festival at the Hiles Trailhead Pub this weekend!!! Please message my family if you've seen me and help me get home-no questions asked.
