Smoke Advisory

INCIDENT: Henderson

AFFECTED AREA: Southern area of Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base

AFFECTED COMMUNITIES: South Camp Pendleton, Oceanside, Carlsbad, and Vista

The Henderson Fire burning in Las Pulgas Canyon on Camp Pendleton continues to produce light to moderate smoke this morning. Offshore northeast winds will persist throughout the day, strengthening again from late morning into the afternoon. These winds will carry smoke southwestward and out over the ocean, with minimal to no impacts expected outside of the southern portion of Camp Pendleton.

In areas of heavy smoke near the fire, assume that air quality levels are unhealthy for sensitive groups to unhealthy for all individuals. In areas with minor smoke impacts, assume that air quality levels range from moderate to unhealthy for sensitive groups.

If you are near the affected communities and smell smoke it is advised that you limit physical/outdoor activity. If possible, stay indoors to limit your exposure to fine particulate matter and ozone, especially those residents with respiratory or heart disease, the elderly, and children.
