Fires and Asthma

Fires can trigger severe asthma attacks so we recommend that you start your child's asthma controller immediately for preventative purposes.  Particle pollutions trigger asthma attacks. Studies prove that children who breathed the smokey air during fires had more coughing, wheezing, cold, bronchitis and were more likely to see a physician for respiratory issues, according to the American Lung Association.
