How Manitobans can stay safe from wildfire smoke

Clouds of smoke rise from the Cross Lake community in northern Manitoba. (Raymond Robinson) With many communities under air quality warnings, it's important for Manitobans to stay safe and protect their lungs from wildfire smoke. According to the latest provincial data, there are 123 active wildfires across the province and 310 wildfires so far this year. This year's wildfire season is also on track to be Canada's second worst on record. 'The 2025 season is very aggressive,' said Juliette Mucha from the Manitoba Lung Association in an interview with CTV Morning Live on Thursday. 'But what we're caught off guard with is it started so early this year, so it's lasting a long time.' Mucha said her organization wants to educate Manitobans on how they can best enjoy their summer while also staying protected against the smoke, which has the ability to travel hundreds of kilometres. She emphasized smoke can affect everyone, not just those with health conditions, such as asthma, COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. 'We have one set of lungs, and we need to take care of them,' she said. To stay safe amid a high air quality health index, Mucha recommends that people stay indoors as much as possible, drink plenty of water, and wear an N95 mask when going outside. She also recommends closing windows and doors at home, putting your air conditioner on recirculation mode, and using an air purifier with a HEPA filter. 'I encourage everyone, we have a lot of Manitoba events happening; enjoy, but take precautions,' she said.
