SmokeLow speed winds flowing up-valley in the afternoon will likely result in smoke production enough to affect areas close to the fire, especially Waldo Lake. Oakridge may have some smoke in the morning as is common with cooler air flowing from the fire area down the Salmon Creek drainage. Crater Lake may receive some smoke from the Rum Creek fire to the southwest. Other locations further from the fire should not be affected by smoke from this fire.
 Health and Safety MessageShort term exposure to smoke can range from eye and respiratory tract irritation to more serious effects including reduced lung function, lung inflammation, bronchitis, worsening of asthma and other lung diseases and worsening of cardiovascular diseases.
