A fire that traveled a couple of hundreds of miles made its way to the Lone Star State and West Texas woke up to a smoky sky.

The haze and smell early Tuesday morning brought concerns from many people across the Permian Basin.

The smoke came from an enormous fire that actually developed near Amarillo on Monday.

Medical Center Hospital Health Specialist Timothy Marquez believed it could’ve been dangerous, especially if anyone has asthma or any type of respiratory problems.

“Even those of us with healthy lungs breathing in this kind of stuff is going to bother us,” Marquez said. “It’s supposed to bother us because our lungs are trying to get that stuff out.”

Coughing, sneezing and itching eyes are all side effects from the smoke. Marquez recommends for everyone to stay in doors to avoid the smoky conditions.

The smoke has completely subsided from the area, but if it were to return Marquez advises everyone to wear a N95 respiratory mask. It helps with those particular symptoms and it filters about 85 percent of the air you’re breathing in.
