The Bay Area Air Quality Management District is banning the burning of wood and other solid fuel for Sunday and Monday in the region via a Spare the Air alert.
Smoke from the Point Fire is impacting air quality in portions of the Bay Area. Wood burning is banned. Avoid exposure by staying indoors, if temperatures allow.
Air quality may be in the moderate to unhealthy range for people who are sensitive to particulates. Residents who are part of any sensitive group should remain indoors with their doors and windows closed, the Air District said. The air district says exposure to wood smoke can be linked to serious respiratory or cardiac problems and is especially harmful for children and older people.
