    Smoke from the #BoyleHeights warehouse fire continues to impact nearby communities. If you see or smell smoke: ✅Stay indoors, when possible ✅Keep windows and doors closed ✅Use a properly fitted N95 when outside Get the latest air quality info➡️airnow.gov
    Infographic titled “Wear N95 Masks Correctly” showing illustrated side and front views of a person properly wearing an N95 respirator mask. Text at the top reads: “Use N95 respirator masks marked NIOSH for the best protection against smoke.” The side-view illustration shows the mask fitting over the nose and under the chin, with instructions to place one strap above the ears and one strap below the ears without crossing them. A highlighted text box states: “Respirator should collapse as you breathe in and not let air in from the sides.” The front-view illustration shows the mask labeled “NIOSH” and “N95,” with instructions to pinch the nose bar to shape it to the nose. The CARB logo appears in the bottom right corner.

    The best way to avoid breathing in smoke is to stay inside. If you must go outside, wear an N95 mask. Stay on top of air conditions by checking AirNow.gov. For more information on masks go to: cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/D… Image credit: Myung J. Chun, Los Angeles Times

    Check the air quality in your area. Stay inside with your windows and doors closed if there’s poor air quality in your area. If you must go outside wear an N95 or P100 mask. Visit: airnow.gov Image credit: Eric Thayer, Los Angeles Times via Getty Images

    N95 masks can filter out pollutants, including smoke from fires, and make breathing safer. If you must go outside when there’s smoke in the air, wear an N95 mask to protect your health. Visit: cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/D… Image credit: Isaac Ceja/Boyle Heights Beat

    Drinking on game day? Don’t fumble in the heat. Alcohol + extreme heat = high risk. It hides dehydration and heat illness. Drink water often, eat first, take shade/AC breaks, and know the warning signs. For more info, go to: cdph.ca.gov/Programs/EPO/P…

    During a fire, protect yourself from smoke, ash & poor air quality. If you see ash or smell smoke, you may be affected by microscopic air pollution.

    Clouds of dense smoke fill the sky. Text advises: "When smoke is in the air: limit outdoor activity, keep windows and doors closed, use an air purifier if available, follow guidance from local health officials." The CalHHS logo is in the top left corner.
