You can also ask Siri for the Air Quality in your city and if there are stations that track that, it will give you a number and say if it is good, moderate, unhealthy, or hazardous. Right now in Portland, it is 367, which is quite hazardous. In short, keep windows and doors closed and stay indoors. Which radio station said it had info on their web site? I am in Portland as well.
