Smoke Visible from UT Tyler Campus

Significant smoke from a new wildfire approx. three miles north of Chapel Hill is visible from the UT Tyler main campus, but poses no danger to the campus area.

The immediate area remains under a "Dense Smoke Advisory" and smoke plumes may continue throughout the rest of the day and evening. Visibility may be limited and air quality diminished.

University officials are continually monitoring the situation and will provide additional updates as needed.

You should only contact emergency officials if you actually see flames.

Thank you.
