June 13, 2023 – Mariposa County Health & Human Services reports that it’s best to be prepared for fire season... and breathe a little easier.

We're happy for cooler weather, especially during Wildfire Season, but we know that smoky skies can be here at a moment's notice.

So, we're here to help you gear up with a handy little guide to help you breathe a little easier this fire season.

A "DIY" room air filtration system can help  to eliminate wildfire smoke particles in your home. Wildfire smoke can pose serious health risks, and these tiny particles can penetrate deep into the lungs!

Check out our step-by-step guide to make your own DIY Air Filter.
