Description
Southern California is starting to see more wildfires as we get into the hotter summer months. People see the fire and big flames but don't always think about how the smoke might effect them.
"The smoke can take you out well before the flames do. It's important to have a plan," said Thomas Shoots, captain and public information officer at CAL Fire.
He recommends having an N-95 mask in your go-bag. If you don't have a mask you can use a cotton t-shirt to cover your mouth and nose. Goggles can also be helpful to protect your eyes.
