Colorado wildfires: Doctor gives health tips for how to avoid problems from smoke

DENVER (KDVR) -- Three large wildfires were burning in parts of the northern Front Range on Wednesday, leading to poor air quality and hazardous conditions for some.

Air quality, as of Wednesday afternoon, was at a "moderate" or "good" level in most of the Denver metro and Front Range area, according to the U.S. Air Quality Index.

This ranged from "unhealthy for sensitive groups," in parts of Littleton to "hazardous" in some areas near Loveland.
