The Bismarck-Mandan area looks like we have a fog over the countryside. It's all due to the fires to the West.
According to KFYR-TV, The Bismarck Public Schools have canceled outdoor recess due to the poor air quality in the area.
The health department urges everyone to avoid long periods of time outdoors as much as possible due to the smog.
The school board made the decision to keep students inside today and once the air quality is better, the kids can have fun in the sun again
