It is important that medical professionals be prepared to provide information to patients and families on how to minimize the adverse health effects on children of wildfire smoke and ash from wildfires.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
