If you are trapped inside by the smoke and watching your air quality steadily decline- here is something you can do right now to make things better.

Get every spare pot/pan/container/bucket you have and fill them half way with water, place these everywhere in your house you /1
You have the space to safely do so. The idea is to create as much watery surface area as possible- the water will gradually absorb smoke particles and clean the air. It's slow, but if you have enough surface area it can make a *very* meaningful difference over 2-3 hours. /2
Another thing you can do is run a hot shower until you're bathtub is half filled up- leave the bathroom door open. The rush of humidity into your living space will knock many of the smoke particles down onto the floor. (Do this every few hours as needed as needed)
I know how it looks but this setup has kept the air quality in my bedroom basically normal for the past 3 days. It's an improvised solution- but it's one that works surprisingly well+doesn't require very much in the way of materials.
