During a wildfire, protect yourself from smoke. Stay inside and close windows and doors. If you're running an air conditioner, keep the fresh air intake closed and clean the filter to prevent outdoor smoke from getting inside. Note that cloth face coverings worn to help protect against the spread of COVID-19 do not protect against breathing in wildfire smoke. cdc.gov/air/wildfire-smoke/default.htm
