Security tips that you should consider in the middle of forest fires

Note all emergency warnings and follow the instructions of the authorities.

Since forest fires continue to burn in many communities, some security tips have to be taken into account.

It is important to check the air quality near you. This can be viewed through the weather app of your phone.

You will also be asked to stay inside when the authorities tell you that you are doing this. Select a room inside that you can complete from the outside air to prevent smoke from lurking inside.

Also pay attention to health symptoms, especially if you have lung diseases such as asthma, diabetes, heart problems or pregnant.

Avoid breathing in the smoke as this could affect your health.

Also, don't forget your pets. They can also be affected by forest fire smoke. So reduce the smoke load of your pet because you would reduce your own.

Keep the fire in the eye near you. Note all emergency warnings and follow the instructions of the authorities.
