Health Threat from Wildfire Smoke
Wildfires across the state are creating hazardous and smoky conditions.
Smoke from fires in our region may begin to drift into communities and rapidly degrade air quality.
If heavy smoke is present, those who are more vulnerable should take precautions and avoid prolonged or heavy activity. Older adults, children, and people with heart or lug disease (including asthma) are more vulnerable tot he adverse health effects of air pollution from wildfires.
