AQHI 10+ in some areas of Edmonton where there is smoke.

Doesn't feel like 10 in Mill Creek area, but can definitely smell/see/feel smoke in the air.

SC Mayor Rod Frank says fire is contained but still producing smoke as of an hour ago. #yeg #fire

Jessica Ng @jessicacbc.bsky.social · Aug 31

Still thinking abt the huge fire in Strathcona Cty yesterday at the recycling facility.

Last night, I got messages from people across the city who could smell a chemical-like smoke. Not surprising, seeing the trail it left in the sky.

No update this a.m. from SC Mayor as of yet. #yeg
