Instructions for dealing with ash
If your home was impacted by the Mountain fire, here are some health precautions to take after you return home and before you begin the clean- up process.
We do not advise ash clean-up while ash is still falling and the situation is unpredictable. Wait until conditions improve.
Avoid skin contact with ash. Ash from burned homes and other items will likely contain metals, chemicals, and potentially asbestos, items that may be considered toxic if breathed in or touched with wet skin. If you do get ash on your skin, wash it off immediately. Some wet ash can cause chemical burns.
