      It’s gonna happen again. The conditions are better for wild fires than last year.

        Good time to make sure there are masks stocked in the pantry ready for the summer.

      Every since last year I’ve been sure to watch the PM 2.5 levels outside. I miss not knowing about it and the danger at times!
