Season's 9th 'Winter Spare the Air' alert issued for today  

Bookmark and Share
Yet another "Winter Spare the Air" alert has been issued for the Bay Area for Friday, meaning residents won't be able to burn wood for 24 hours. This is the Bay Area Air Quality Management District's ninth such alert this season. The last "Spare the Air" day was Wednesday. District officials said a high-pressure weather system resulted in an unhealthy buildup of wood smoke and fine particle pollution. Bay Area residents will not be allowed to use fireplaces, woodstoves, outdoor fire pits or any other wood-burning devices on Friday. Residents can call (877) 4-NO-BURN to learn whether an alert has been issued each day. Those interested can also sign up to receive alerts
