Air District lifts Winter Spare the Air Alert

Share 

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District has lifted the Winter Spare the Air Alert that was issued on Wednesday, November 19.

Today, Bay Area air quality is forecast to be in the good range on the US Environmental Protection Agency's Air Quality Index. Bay Area residents are now allowed to burn wood. The Air District recommends that residents burn only clean, dry wood in short, hot fires with plenty of air, in order to prevent dirty smoke from chimneys or flues.

The Air District received fifty complaints pertaining to wood smoke throughout the Bay Area during the Winter Spare the Air Alert. Six warning letters have gone out to confirmed violators.
