Prevent Foodborne Illness After Wildfires
Fires are serious threats to life and property. Four main factors can impact food exposed to fire:
The heat of the fire
Smoke fumes
Chemicals used to fight the fire
Power outages affecting refrigeration
Though foods may appear fine after being near a fire, they can be unsafe and endanger your health.
Bacteria can contaminate foods exposed to flames or smoke fumes.
Chemical fumes can penetrate through packaging such as canned goods, jars and plastic.
If refridgerators or freezers aren’t sealed airtight, food can spoil.
Firefighting chemicals are poisonous and can harm foods.
