You would have to shut the windows for a while so that kind of smoke does not get inside and give you a headache or any other problem.
Hope it all gets sorted out and they can put it out without any further damage.

How awful. We had smoke here for a long time. It is no fun. Hope you get past this okay. Maybe some face masks would be of help.

Yes, keep those windows closed and don't panic.
Do you think you'll have to evacuate where you are? I hope not.
Stay safe.

@Hatley Glad the wind changed. Even the smoke is dangerous, especially for older folks who may have compromised respiratory issues.
