How should i approach burned areas after a wildfire?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very carefully: After a fire has passed, such as a wildfire, and it has been announced that it is safe to go back, use caution when entering burned areas as hazards may still exist, including hot spots which can flare up without warning. Evacuate immediately if you see a flare-up or smell a gas leak.
