Wildfire smoke is a mixture of harmful particles and gases that pose a severe health risk to anyone (including pets) nearby and downwind from a fire. Wildfire smoke can drift thousands of miles, affecting air quality and increasing health risks far from the wildfire itself. It’s important to plan ahead and be ready to take action when wildfires occur, especially if they are in your region. Smoke particles and gases from a nearby wildfire can quickly build up inside a home, which is why the U.S. Forest Service recommends using a high-performance air cleaner when wildfire smoke is an issue. This is especially important if children, the elderly, and those suffering from lung or heart conditions live in the home.

Plan ahead to protect your family
Protecting your family from wildfire smoke is primarily a matter of good planning and being ready in case a crisis occurs. Good planning includes knowing what steps to take in a wildfire emergency, and knowing what routes to take if an evacuation becomes necessary. Good planning also includes being ready to manage your exposure to wildfire smoke should a fire affect your air quality. By creating a clean zone in your home now, you and your family can be protected should wildfire smoke become a problem.
