The ongoing fire and resulting smoke pose serious health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations such as individuals with asthma, respiratory conditions, or other health issues. Families near the fire have struggled to find air purifiers, and some have evacuated their homes. Businesses in affected areas have seen a decline in customer activity due to the poor air quality. The smoke, described as smelling of chemicals and plastic, has left many residents experiencing dry throats and breathing difficulties.
