⚠️ Smoke alerts have been issued for several California counties!

🏕 Limit outdoor activity

🔄 Run A/C (re-circulate to prevent outside air from moving inside), if possible

🏘️ Stay indoors with windows + doors closed

📱 Stay up-to date on air conditions at www.airnow.gov

⚠️ Regions that are miles away from fires can have poor air quality. Some Californians are more at-risk than others:
