CODE PURPLE AIR QUALITY ALERT
Montgomery County officials have issued a Code Purple Air Quality Alert for Friday, July 17, 2026, as smoke from wildfires in Canada continues to impact the region. A Code Purple alert means the air quality is unhealthy for everyone, not just sensitive groups. Residents are encouraged to temporarily reduce or avoid prolonged outdoor activities, especially strenuous exercise, until air quality improves.
As of 9am, the Air Quality Index (AQI) measured 235, placing conditions in the “Very Unhealthy” category due to elevated levels of PM2.5, fine particulate matter associated with wildfire smoke. The code Purple encompasses most of the state of Maryland and Northern Virginia
Both community pools at Saddle Ridge and Baileys Commons and the KFCA Management Office will close today at 12:00 p.m. for the health and safety of our residents and staff. The management team is still available by emailing management@kingfarm.org or calling 301-987-0122.
We strongly encourage you to stay indoors as much as possible and avoid outdoor activities unless you truly need to be outside. If you must go out, please try to limit the amount of time you spend outdoors and consider any health guidance provided by local authorities.
