I forgot to add that I haven't had an asthma attack in 20 years, so the smoke was definitely creating new health problems. By the time I finally went to the doctor on day 6 after the fire started, the skies had cleared, although when you checked the air quality numbers, the air was still laden with a lot of particulates. So just because the air looks clear doesn't mean that it's safe to breathe.
