Pay Attention to Local Air Quality Reports

Listen and watch for news or health warnings about smoke. Citizens can call 303-758-4848 or check today's air quality online to learn whether a "red" advisory is in effect.

Stay Indoors to Avoid Smoke

Keep indoor air as clean as possible. Keep windows and doors closed unless it is extremely hot outside. Run an air conditioner if you have one, but keep the fresh-air intake closed and the filter clean to prevent outdoor smoke from getting inside. If you do not have an air conditioner and it is too warm to stay inside with the windows closed, seek shelter elsewhere.

Do Not Add to Indoor Pollution

When smoke levels are high, do not use anything that burns, such as candles, fireplaces, or gas stoves. Do not vacuum because vacuuming stirs up particles already inside your home. Do not smoke because smoking puts even more pollution into the air.
