Each year, fires and smoke can threaten our homes, communities, and health. Wildfire smoke can travel thousands of miles and create health hazards, especially for those with breathing or heart conditions, older adults, infants and children, and pregnant people. That's why we raise awareness during Wildfire Awareness Month and Clean Air Month in May. For more information on protecting your health during wildfires, visit healthoregon.org/wildfires
