      We had a few years of fire smoke from 100s of miles away, I could not see the house across the street. Much different than sitting beside a campfire

      Yes! A single camp fire can only put out so much wood smoke, but wildfires cause all the air around you to be saturated with smoke. The smoke can contain heavy metals and all other kinds of bad shit to breathe, because it’s not just dry wood the way camp fires are. The contents of any homes or cars that have burned are also now floating around in the atmosphere.

      TL;DR: don’t breathe this
