Wildfire Season Is Coming—Here’s How to Stay Ready and Safe
With wildfire activity expected to increase from late spring through summer, now is the time to prepare. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (South Coast AQMD) urges residents to stay informed and protect their health from wildfire smoke and ash, which pose serious risks—especially for children, older adults, and those with heart or lung conditions.
Wildfire smoke contains fine particles (PM2.5) that can travel deep into the lungs and even enter the bloodstream. Symptoms may include coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, and eye irritation. When smoke is present, stay indoors, close windows and doors, run air conditioners with clean filters, and avoid strenuous outdoor activity.
Stay informed with real-time air quality updates by downloading the free South Coast AQMD app or visiting www.aqmd.gov. You’ll also find health tips for wildfire smoke and information on how to protect your family—including pets.
