Wild Fires

Individuals looking to purchase N95 respirators should check first with their local home improvement stores. www.3m.com/safetyproducts If they are out of stock, 3M also sells N95 respirators to a wide range of safety and industrial distributors.

It is important that users carefully read the packaging and user instructions, and obtain a proper fit each time they wear the respirator. Remember that it is time to dispose of your disposable respirator and obtain a new one when it becomes dirty, damaged or difficult to breathe through.
