Health Precautions Advised for Smoke in Air
San Andreas, CA...Smoke is visible in some areas of Calaveras County as a result of the Ramsey Fire near Cottage Springs. The Public Health Department is advising the community to avoid smoke exposure. The main health threat from wildfire smoke comes from fine particles. These particles can get into the eyes and respiratory system causing burning eyes, runny nose and illnesses such as bronchitis. Smoke can worsen existing health conditions and increase breathing problems. People with heart and lung diseases, including asthma, are more likely to be affected by smoke. Elderly persons, infants and children, pregnant women and smokers are also more sensitive to the effects of smoke....

The Public Health Department is advising residents to take the following actions to limit exposure to wildfire smoke:
Stay indoors and limit time outdoors
Limit physical activity
Keep windows and doors closed
Run your air conditioner if you have one – close the fresh air intake and keep
filter clean
If it is extremely hot outside and you do not have air conditioning, seek alternate
shelter.
Keep indoor air as clean as possible – do not vacuum or smoke indoors.
If you have asthma, take your medicines and follow your asthma management
plan.
Keep car windows closed and set air conditioner to re-circulate air.
If you can see smoke, take precautions. Even healthy persons can be affected. People with heart or lung disease who experience repeated coughing, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, wheezing, chest tightness or pain should contact their doctor or clinic. “If an existing illness gets worse due to smoke exposure, get medical assistance,” advised Dr. Dean Kelaita, County Health Officer.
The extreme heat is also expected to continue this week. Prevent heat illness by limiting physical activity outdoors. Drink plenty of fluids that do not have sugar, alcohol or caffeine. Check on neighbors and friends. Do not leave children or pets in a closed car. Those at greater risk for heat illness are similar to the risk groups for smoke exposure – pregnant women, infants and children, the elderly and those with chronic conditions.
For more smoke and heat illness prevention information, go to www.calaveraspublichealth.com or call the Public Health Department at 209-754-6460. Follow local news or fire websites for the most up to date fire information.

thanks for the guidelines. we haven't been able to get our house cooler than 84 degrees. the smoke is so heavy we cannot open the windows to try and cool off. my asthma meds are being used more than usual. people pay attention to your senior, disabled or any neighbor who may need help.
Thanks to the health dept for posting this very urgent reminder.
