Wildfire smoke is a mix of gases and fine particles from burning trees and plants, buildings, and other materials.

Wildfire smoke can make anyone sick, but some people have a higher risk of getting sick. People most at risk include:
- People with chronic conditions like asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or heart disease
- Pregnant women
- Children
- Responders

Plan to keep wildfire smoke outside.
- Choose a room you can close off from outside air.
- Set up a portable air cleaner or a filter to keep the air in this room cleaner even when it's smoky outdoors or in the rest of your home.
