BULLETIN
Air quality alerts are in effect across Montrose due to smoke from the 18,005-acre Gold Mountain Fire, which has prompted pre-evacuation notices for residents in Ouray and Montrose counties. Smoke will continue throughout the day with temperatures holding steady around 61°F, so keep an eye on official evacuation orders and air quality updates if you're in the affected areas. On a brighter note, the town is planning to use lasers instead of fireworks for Independence Day celebrations this weekend, which should help with fire safety concerns during these smoky conditions.
