According to the Boston Globe, the wildfire smoke pouring into Massachusetts has caused the Department of Environmental Protection and state officials to send a warning as the blazes could render the air unhealthy for people with certain medical conditions throughout much of the Commonwealth.

CBS 12 in Providence is reporting that the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management has now issued an air quality alert for the entire state as the effects of the wildfires travel through the northern part of the ocean state.

The DEM expects the air quality will reach unhealthy levels during the overnight hours.

Massachusetts and Rhode Island state officials say those sensitive groups include people with heart or lung conditions such as asthma, older adults, children, teenagers, and those who are active outdoors.
