Drive Through Smoke Safely | Denver News

Smoke from Colorado’s wildfires is turning roads into hazey nightmares — and state troopers are giving you the smart, survival-ready drive-through guide. Shut windows, use recirculation, and turn on headlights (not high beams). Slow down, space out — three to five car lengths — and avoid sudden moves. Watch for wildlife or emergency vehicles, and stay calm even when it’s scary. If you’re near flames, expect ash, embers, or falling trees. After you pass the danger zone, pull over to inspect your car: check filters, tires, and wipe off toxic ash. And heed evacuation orders — your safety is the only thing that matters.
