  "account": "Calgary residents are being warned about worsening air quality due to an ongoing landfill fire in southeast Calgary. The fire, which first started Sunday, has been under control but continues to produce hazardous smoke. The city's fire department advises seniors and others at risk to stay indoors if they see or smell smoke, as the smoke can cause eye, nose and throat irritation, coughing, and headaches.\n\nThe provincial government has deployed air monitoring equipment and issued an air quality advisory to inform residents about the potential health risks. It remains unclear whether the fire has re-emerged or if another fire has begun elsewhere in the area.",
