Chicago Air Quality Alert issued through Tuesday night for Canadian wildfire smoke
An Air Quality Alert has been issued through Tuesday for the Chicago area from wildfire smoke coming in from Canada. The Air Quality Alert went into effect at noon Monday, for air quality that is unhealthy for sensitive groups, including babies and children and the elderly. The alert expands to all of Northwest Indiana on Tuesday. Smoke from wildfires in Canada started being dragged down into the Upper Midwest over the weekend, then further into the Chicago area as the week begins. Manitoba is under a state of emergency due to the wildfires, which have prompted 12,600 people to evacuate their homes. The fires in the central Canadian province have burned over 3,861 square miles. There are also wildfires in Saskatchewan. An Air Pollution Action Day has been issued by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency for Tuesday, July 15 for the greater Chicago metropolitan area, for ozone levels that will be at unhealthy levels for sensitive groups. If you have asthma or pulmonary or respiratory diseases, you are strongly encouraged to limit prolonged outdoor activities while the alert and action day are in effect.

Chicagoland father and son drown in Lake Michigan while swimming at Indiana Dunes
PORTER COUNTY, Ind. — A father and son from Chicagoland drowned Saturday afternoon while swimming in Lake Michigan at a beach in Northwest Indiana. According to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, emergency crews were called to Boaters Beach at Indiana Dunes National Park at 4:20 p.m. following reports of an active water rescue. Conservation Officers, along with National Park Rangers, used off-road vehicles and a patrol boat to reach the remote area. Two men were pulled from the water by a good Samaritan. They were transported to a local hospital, where they later died, IDNR said. The victims were identified as David Meneou, 65, of Joliet, and his son, Jameson Meneou, 20, of Lockport. IDNR says a preliminary investigation shows Jameson Meneou was swimming when he ventured into deep water and began to struggle. His father jumped in to save him but also became distressed. This incident remains under investigation by Indiana Conservation Officers. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
