To all affected by the fires in your area remember stay clear of fire and and especially the fire smoke becuase it is often more dangerous than the fire itself. Excess inhalation of the fire smoke brings too much carbon monoxide into your lungs, notwithstanding what fumes are produced by what is being burned. Carbon Monoxide stops a metalloprotein protein in the red blood cells called hemoglobin from carrying oxygen into your body and also stops carbon dioxide from being released out of your body. Simply put enough exposure to it may cause a person to pass out, and too much of it can cause brain damage or death in about 10 -15 minutes of direct smoke inhalation. Stay clear of fires and especially of fire smoke. If any doubt call emergency authorities. Stay safe.
