A raging California wildfire prompted officials in southern Nevada to announce an air quality advisory warning today that will last through the weekend.
Though air quality levels haven't yet reached an unhealthy level, the Clark County Department of Air Quality issued the advisory due to the fire in Riverside County, Calif., the department announced today. The advisory will be in place from Friday to Sunday.
The fire began around 2 p.m. Wednesday, and has since spread to cover 10,000 acres with only 10 percent containment, according to fire officials.
Air quality officials will post alerts if unhealthy air quality levels are met during the advisory on their website.
