Wildfire smoke can cause coughing, shortness of breath, and worsen heart/lung conditions in both people and animals. Older adults, children, pregnant women, and those with existing health conditions are especially vulnerable to the health risks of wildfire smoke.

In the event of a wildfire in your area:
✅ Check local air quality regularly
✅ Limit outdoor work when smoke levels are high
✅ Watch for signs of respiratory distress in workers and livestock
