Wildfire Smoke

Almost every summer our forest around us can be plagued with wildfires that can deliver dense smoke miles away into the river valley were live in.  This may seem nothing to be concerned about actual fire reaching our community, but wildfire smoke can irritate your eyes, nose, throat and lungs.  They can make you cough or wheeze and can make it hard to breath. There are some things you can do to protect your health from wildfire smoke like staying indoors, stay alert to news coverage or health warnings, keep windows close to prevent smoke from entering your home,  use an air conditioner, and use a filtered mask like N95 or N100 industry mask if you are going out doors.  Bottom line is avoid breathing smoke if you can help it.
