Take precaution if you see ash or smell #Smoke. Windblown ash particles may be too large to be detected by air quality instrumentation and not reflected in the AQI map. However, they are typically visible either in the air or on outdoor surfaces. Although the AQI may show green, hazardous ash may be present in the air.
