Living in a "caldera valley" like this (Rogue Valley..SW corner of Oregon), we and others are sometimes recipients of some really smoky air, particulate #s above 300, really nasty days...mask or even respirator, if you need to work outside for any length of time....like mowing the lawn ! Feel sorry for the construction and road crews who have no choice, can't really do any "indoor work" at all.
Which brings me to.....THANKS FOR COMING TO HELP US OREGONIANS !!
We certainly appreciate your service !
If we're having such a mess breathing the air that we have, this far away from the actual blazes, we are all the more grateful to y'all who are standing right next to it. You have our respect, for sure. Again....thanks for what you do.

Yup, living in some of those valleys can be brutal when the inversion holds for any length of time. Happy Camp on the Klamath is notorious for that. The marine layer that impacts the area where I'm heading will hold smoke early, then usually clears with the heating of the day.
