Wildland Fire Smoke
Smoke is an inevitable byproduct of fire, and can negatively affect human and ecological health and safety, as well as fire operations. With decreased visibility, air and road travel risks increase. Smoke irritates eyes and lungs, aggravating sufferers of asthma and other respiratory problems. Sometimes, smoke columns grow to enormous sizes, creating their own fire weather, with increased winds and reduced visibility.
