Fires mean bad air quality

October 22nd, 2007 at 11:24 pm

The air is murky and full of ash. The skies are no longer blue as they usually are during high winds. The cars continue to get covered and I expect them to be worse tomorrow. County health boards have advised all residence to stay in doors and to avoid spending unnecessary time outside. I might have to start wearing a mask as some sort of filter. I'm going to have to refill my inhaler prescription.

The air in the office is starting to get affected. I can smell the smoke and char. It might get worse at 5pm when people start to leave and the doors are constantly opening and closing.

I'm going to start going through the cupboards to see what foods I can donate to fire diaster relief. I'm going to have to re-evaluate my budget position this month to see how much I can afford to give.

    That's a nice thought to give to disaster relief. Looks like many people are going to be affected by those awful fires. We get marsh fires several times a year, but usually not threatening to homes. But they sure put a lot of smoke into the air. Nasty to breathe. And the falling ash sometimes looks like snowflakes. Hope you stay safe.
