The June Lightning Complex Fire in Fresno County is causing smoke that’s affecting the health of communities in the foothills and even reaching as far as the city of Fresno. Air quality in these areas has reached unhealthy levels, with some regions experiencing very unhealthy conditions. Residents are advised to take precautions such as using air purifiers, staying indoors, or even evacuating if necessary.
Those farther away from the fires should also prepare for potential smoke exposure, according to Heather Heinks from the Valley Air District. She recommends investing in a clean air purifier for your home and creating a sealed environment by closing windows and doors. Elderly individuals, children, people with respiratory issues, and pets are especially vulnerable and should spend time indoors to protect their health.
Short-term exposure to smoke may cause minor symptoms like headaches or coughing, while long-term exposure can lead to more serious respiratory problems. For those seeking resources or clean air centers in their area, the Valley Air District website is a valuable source of information. Stay informed and take necessary precautions to protect yourself and your loved ones from the effects of wildfire smoke.
