Officials say the smoke from the ongoing wildfires will affect the air quality in the region.

It can worsen allergies and cause respiratory issues.

The Southern Berkshire Public Health Collaborative urges people to move outdoor activities inside, close windows to your homes and vehicles, and use a high-efficiency air filter.

KN95 and K95 masks are also encouraged.

People in locations across Berkshire County are handing out these masks to those who need them.
