Help Sierra Breathe

The #CaldorFire smoke across our region is extreme. We are here to help hand out N95s. Currently have groups with masks in Reno, Placerville, Grass Valley, and growing.

"closer to the fire that's burning in the Tahoe National Forest near the Placer County town of Foresthill... Thick, toxic smoke has led to hazardous air quality levels. Readings in the Sierra foothills ranged from unhealthy to hazardous Friday morning." sfgate.com/bayarea/articl…

Hello. AQI over 500 in Placerville. Mosquito fire - we are re-mobilizing

We’re still around, and as the Mosquito Fire causes smoke to roll into Reno, remember we have N95 masks and we do have a limited supply of Blue Air air purifiers available. Follow @HelpSierraLungs for more!

We are taking our time to regroup in the aftermath of the Caldor Fire. Sending care to all families recovering from this trauma, and all others facing other active fires at this time.

Oh please don’t burn, you beautiful, gorgeous, irreplaceable paradise. Not to mention Silver City and Cabin Cove, and all the history there. Sick at heart thinking about it. Was just there in July. #mineralking #KNPComplex #SequoiaNationalPark

Don't forget to tune in to watch the #CaldorFire Community Meeting today at 5:00 p.m. at: facebook.com/LakeTahoeUSFS. Incident PIOs will be available to take your questions and pose them to presenters during the Q & A portion of the meeting.

Though the #CaldorFire is coming under control, the smoke for recent evacuees returning will linger and damage their lungs for some time - help us protect them with N95 masks! helpsierrabreathe.org

It's not just the affordability crisis and pandemic where local mutual aid groups are filling huge gaps, it's now also the compounded effects of climate change and awful AQI. @LeonaThotsky explains how you can help in today's #ourtownreno picture story: ourtownreno.com/our-stories-1/…

Protect yourself from toxic smoke rolling into Reno & Carson City by wearing an N95 mask outdoors & ESPECIALLY if you are not able to retreat indoors. Donate to helpsierrabreathe.org to continue our work getting N95s to vulnerable people, DM us for one! Thx @HelpSierraLungs

#CaldorFire evacuees are returning home to still-dangerous smoke levels in South Lake Tahoe. Donate and volunteer to help us get N95 masks to vulnerable communities already facing the stress of evacuation: helpsierrabreathe.org article: npr.org/2021/09/06/103…

Information on returning home after a wildfire #CaldorFire

As members of the #HelpSierraBreathe coalition, we aim to help people throughout Northern Nevada avoid ill health effects from toxic smoke. DM us to get a free N95 mask if you’re in need. kolotv.com/2021/09/03/was…

If you can’t stay indoors due to lack of housing, have poor ventilation in your home, or are immunocompromised, these tips aren’t enough. You need an N95. We work with @HelpSierraLungs to get N95s to people who need them the most. DM us if you’re in need or join w/link in bio.

You can also donate to helpsierrabreathe.org/donate as we work with @HelpSierraLungs to get masks to the most vulnerable of our neighbors breathing toxic smoke from the #CaldorFire, #DixieFire, and #TamarackFire

#Placerville people in need of N95s, @blmedc has your back as a coalition member of @HelpSierraLungs!
