How can I keep my indoor air quality clean during a smoke event?

Keep indoor air quality clean in your home by:

  1. Limiting stovetop cooking for either gas or electric. 
  2. Not burning candles. 
  3. Limiting vacuuming during an air quality event; vacuums can put a lot of dust and particles in the air. 
  4. Closing windows and doors when the smoke hinders you from seeing five miles away and/or AQI is orange.
  5. Setting your air conditioning (AC) unit to “recirculate”.
  6. Opening windows to ventilate once the smoke dissipates.
