PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (WTAP) - Officials are urging people in the affected area to limit time outdoors as smoke from a warehouse fire continues to hang over the community. Health experts say smoke can irritate anyone’s lungs, but older adults and people with asthma, COPD, or other breathing problems face the highest risk. Anyone who notices sudden shortness of breath—especially after being outside—should seek help immediately. If someone is struggling to breathe, call 911.
