Smoke from the Washburn Fire burning in Yosemite National Park was raising concerns about air quality in the Bay Area Monday.
"Our family has been pretty much keeping on our masks," said Jennifer Johnson.
"We're here in the South Bay, so it's just a big bowl. And everything just sits right in there and gets trapped. And definitely with activities, we're looking at is there another day that we can do that," Johnson said. "If you do smell smoke that means you could be affected. So, it's important to take the proper measures like closing your doors and windows and creating a clean air room," says spokesperson Walter Wallace.
