Safe Respirator Use

Notes:

  • Cloth (wet or dry), paper masks and tissues will NOT filter out wildfire smoke.
  • Respirators are not designed to fit children.
  • Facial hair prevents proper fit and reduces effectiveness.
  • Use a respirator only after first trying more effective methods to avoid smoke.
  • That includes staying indoors and reducing activity.
