Yeah, I typically buy my filters and purifiers in the winter before the smoke hits because by the summer everyone is panic buying them.

Get yourself a filter rated for smoke if not one for toxins as well because it's not just wood burning. It's houses and man made debris that contains chemicals and carcinogens.
