ACTION
Smoke is coming from a stubble fire is in the Kessell Road, Skewes Road area. Smoke can affect your health. You should stay informed and be aware of the health impacts of smoke on yourself and others. Symptoms of exposure includes shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing, burning eyes, running nose, chest tightness, chest pain and dizziness or light-headedness. If you or anyone in your care are having difficulty breathing, seek medical attention from your local GP. If your symptoms become severe, call 000.

YELLOW: Advice Message; ORANGE: Watch and Act Message; RED: Emergency Warning

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO


Stay indoors as much as possible. Close windows, doors, and air vents (this may only assist with reduced exposure for hours or a few days, as outside air will eventually enter the home). Use appropriate air conditioner settings in the home and vehicles to prevent outside air coming in. Spend time in air-conditioned venues, like cinemas, shopping centres and libraries. Reduce indoor sources of air pollution, such as smoking, cooking with gas, burning candles or vacuum cleaning. Avoid vigorous outdoor activities, especially if you have asthma or other chronic lung or heart conditions. People with existing heart or lung conditions, people over 65 years of age, children 14 years and younger (especially those with asthma), pregnant and breastfeeding people and people with diabetes are more sensitive to the effects of breathing in smoke and should follow the treatment plan advised by their doctor.
