Protect yourself from smoke!
Smoke from a fire can increase your risk of breathing in harmful particles.

Here are some simple steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones:

Tip #1: Stay indoors and close windows
Stay inside in cleaner, cooler air as much as possible. If you have air conditioning, use it to keep cool and keep windows and doors closed, including overnight, to limit smoke from entering your home. If possible, install a high-efficiency filter (e.g., rated MERV 13+), and ensure your system’s fan is set to “On” instead of “Auto.” Check filters frequently and change them when they appear dirty.

Tip #2: Use air cleaners
Use a portable air cleaner or build a DIY air cleaner. Place it in a “clean room” where you spend most of your time.

Tip #3: Limit outdoor activities
Reduce the time and intensity of any outdoor activities. If you must be outside, wear a NIOSH-approved® N95® respirator, take frequent breaks, and hydrate in cooler areas.

Tip #4: Recognize smoke-related symptoms
Common symptoms from smoke exposure include dizziness, difficulty breathing, coughing, headaches, nausea, burning, irritation, and redness of the skin, eyes, nose, and throat. Seek medical care if needed.
