OLYMPIA, Wash. (Metro) -- As temperatures start dropping for winter, Washington's Department of Ecology is warning that smoke from burning wood to heat homes always poses health risks and can actually kill people in frail health.
The department says that if you must use wood, make sure it's properly dried and avoid using old, inefficient burning devices.
The state is under a burn ban right now due to wildfires and stagnant air.
