It’s bad, but it’s not THAT bad. Smells like campfire and the air is hazy.

We live in the area and have been fine… it was really bad the first couple of days after the fire started when we could barely see a few hundred feet, the sky was dark, and it was raining ash.

The haze is barely a minor annoyance unless you have major breathing problems like uncontrolled asthma or COPD.

I would say even mild asthma will cause you trouble. I’m all the way over in Seattle and the air quality has been causing me problems with my VERY mild asthma. Also everyone I know has had a persistent headache for the past 2 weeks from the smoke.
