What to do during Wildfire Season in Central Oregon?

Wildfire season is a reality in Central Oregon, and it doesn't take long for smoke to impact your business. Smoke can enter buildings through doors, windows, ventilation systems, and even small gaps in the building envelope. Within a short period of time, indoor air quality can decline, affecting employees, customers, and daily operations.

For employers, protecting workers is more than good business—it's part of maintaining a safe workplace. Oregon OSHA's Wildfire Smoke Rule requires employers to take protective measures when wildfire smoke reaches certain Air Quality Index (AQI) levels, which may include monitoring air quality and implementing controls to reduce employee exposure.

One of the most effective engineering controls is portable commercial air filtration. High-capacity HEPA air filtration units help remove fine smoke particles from the air, improving indoor air quality while helping businesses maintain a healthier environment during wildfire events.

At Peak Northwest Restoration, we offer commercial air filtration rentals throughout Bend, Redmond, Sisters, Prineville, and Central Oregon. Our technicians deliver, set up, monitor, and maintain professional air filtration equipment, helping businesses prepare for wildfire smoke and protect employees throughout the season.
