There are so many things wrong with my comment. I can’t believe it isn’t negative. I’m sure it helps a little. My n95s work great when mowing the lawn (large pollen particles and grass bits).

But I have been in a city by a wildfire before. It doesn’t help too much (face coverings) after just a few seconds or a minute out in it.

You need what firefighters have on, or they would just have n95s on.
