I don't believe it Doug. It was only dusty/smokey for a week or three and I'm sure they had access to breathing protection. Heck, even in New Zealand there are stores which sell all sorts of industrial safety equipment, such as full face masks with activated charcoal filters. I bought one years ago for just such emergency needs. Or just to do some dirty job which would involve my lungs being polluted.

Where's the data on this terrible breathing problem that the first responders experienced? Surely firemen had breathing protection? I know they have.

Maybe the ones who are having trouble breathing are overweight and smoke cigarettes?
