What should those who are smoke sensitive do during prescribed fires?

If you are sensitive to low levels of smoke:

  • Get real-time outdoor air quality notifications. If air quality reaches a level of concern for you, limit time outside and close your windows.
  • Keep indoor air as clean as possible. Turn on your air conditioner. Most have filters that remove particles in the air. To learn more about filter options, contact your local HVAC professional.
  • Follow your doctor’s advice. If you have asthma or another lung disease, follow your doctor’s advice about taking medicine or other steps to avoid symptoms.
