You do not have to live near a wildfire to be affected by smoke.

Smoke can travel far from active fires, and conditions can change quickly with wind and weather. When smoke is present, limit heavy outdoor activity, keep windows and doors closed when possible, and use recirculate mode in your vehicle.
