Children, the elderly, people who smoke and people with heart or lung conditions (including asthma) are more sensitive to the effects of breathing in bushfire smoke. These people should close windows, remain inside and ensure medication is on hand.

QLD Health has some practical tips for dealing with smoky conditions during bushfires: https://www.health.qld.gov.au/disaster/bushfire/bushfire-smoke.asp
