Following the fire at the Caribou Village Shopping Center in Nederland, air testing shows VOC levels in the air are well within safe standards.

People in the area are encouraged to watch for symptoms like watery eyes, sore throat, or headaches and take steps to stay safe, especially those with asthma or other respiratory conditions.
