Wildfire smoke reaching homes

Wildfire smoke in Nevada can enter homes miles from any flames, leaving fine soot and odor in HVAC systems, insulation, and fabrics. The EPA recommends keeping windows closed and using high-efficiency filters during smoke events, and lingering odor afterward usually means residue that needs professional cleaning.

Dry conditions and grass fires

Dry, windy conditions in Nevada make brush and grass fires spread quickly toward homes, leaving ash and smoke residue on exterior surfaces and inside attics and vents.
