Clean Air Refuge in Smoke-Heavy Flathead | Bozeman News
Description
When wildfire smoke blankets the Flathead Valley, locals can finally breathe easy at the Gateway Community Center in Kalispell — a newly transformed clean air haven. Equipped with powerful filtration systems and a real-time air quality monitor that changes color, the center slashes outdoor pollution levels from over 100 to a safer 79. Designed as a refuge for the most vulnerable — elders and unhoused residents — it’s a lifeline during Montana’s smoke-choked summers. This community-driven effort, led by Climate Smart Glacier, turns a local hub into a health sanctuary, proving that even in tough conditions, there’s a place to find relief.
