Wildfire season is now year-round & smoke can affect air quality even if the fire is far away.

Check local air quality at airnow.gov.
If it’s unhealthy, limit time outside, wear an N95 mask, or use an air purifier to stay safe — especially children, older adults, & people with health conditions.

Today we honor CA Farmworker Appreciation Day! 🌾
