...AIR QUALITY ADVISORY FOR ALL OF WISCONSIN...
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has extended the Air
Quality Advisory for PM2.5 which will now include northwestern
Wisconsin. This advisory remains in effect until midnight tonight and
affects ALL Wisconsin counties.
Smoke originating from wildfires in Quebec, Canada continues
impacting PM2.5 concentrations at the surface across the state. The
air quality index is expected to range from the UNHEALTHY FOR
SENSITIVE GROUPS level to the UNHEALTHY level. In general, the lowest
PM2.5 concentrations are expected to the southeast, while the
highest concentrations are expected within the corridor south of a
Minneapolis/St Paul, MN to Ironwood, MI line and north of a Dubuque,
IA to Green Bay, WI line. It is recommended that people with heart or
lung disease, older adults, and children avoid prolonged or heavy
exertion, while everyone else should reduce prolonged or heavy
exertion.

Board-certified veterinary surgeon Heather Hadley rebuilt Wildfire’s leg after the snowmobile crash, took him into her home for months of rehab, and then traveled to care for him during his first race.
Redington, in his signature lime green coat, on the first day of the race. He would cross the finish line in first place eight days, 21 hours, 12 minutes and 58 seconds later.
Hadley and her clinic made the plates she removed from Wildfire’s leg into good luck charms for Redington and Keefer. Both were aboard Redington’s sled when he crossed the finish line.

Redington started the race with 14 dogs and finished with six. Eight dogs were left at checkpoints as they grew fatigued or, in Wildfire’s case, twisted an ankle by placing a foot wrong.
