The Bay Area Air Quality Management District has prohibited wood burning in the region for two days due to stagnant winds and a high-pressure system leading to unhealthy air conditions.
During the Spare the Air Alert, all forms of wood-burning devices—whether indoor or outdoor—are prohibited, emphasizing the importance of air quality during these sensitive periods.
On those days, the temperatures are expected to drop into the 40s at night, which, combined with light winds, will trap smoke in the Bay Area, worsening air quality.
Violations of the wood-burning prohibition, which includes burning trash or other hazardous materials, could lead to serious air quality concerns in residential areas during stagnant conditions.
