When it comes to fire safety, the risks are often greater than the fire itself. Smoke from even far away fires can pose risks to individual and public health. As smoke from Canadian wildfires continues to spread and parts of the U.S. enter wildfire season, the U.S. Fire Administration released recommendations to mitigate smoke inhalation risks.
Security leaders and their employees should check the Air Quality index or Air Now Fire and Smoke Map to make informed decisions about daily activities. If air quality is compromised outside, seek cleaner air spaces inside.
