Smoke inhalation — even for seconds - can impair consciousness.

To anyone in the immediate vicinity of this unprecedented fire in the nations most populous county, urgently heed the evacuation orders NOW.

Smoke is as dangerous as the flames behind them.

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944:
