As sunny and warm temperatures approach the San Francisco Bay Area this holiday weekend, local air officials issued a Spare the Air alert – the first of winter.
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District issued a Spare the Air Alert for Friday, calling for people to abstain from burning wood, manufactured fire logs or any other solid fuel in fireplaces or outdoors.
"Passing clouds Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but still dry. Temperatures will steadily drop back to near-average by Sunday ," according to Heggen."Monday's rain chance has all but disappeared. If we pick up anything more than a trace, it would be a surprise at this point." But burning fuels on a Spare the Air day is not just discouraged, it's also illegal, though people who rely on wood stoves or fireplaces as their only source of heat are permitted to use them. However, such households must use US Environmental Protection Agency-certified or pellet-fueled devices that are registered with the Air District. Open-hearth fireplaces no longer qualify for exemptions, BAAQMD said.
