For those wondering about the Newburgh chemical fire 🔥 and our air quality in Dubois County.

The primary county affected by the Newburgh chemical fire yesterday was Warrick County, Indiana, with a shelter-in-place advisory issued for much of the area, including Newburgh and extending to the Spencer County line. Portions of Daviess County, Kentucky were also affected, with a temporary recommendation for a voluntary shelter-in-place due to the smoke plume, although this was later lifted.

We should not experience any poor air quality from the fire. Just our standard allergy weather 🤧

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) monitors air quality in Indiana through its state-wide ambient air monitoring network.
