The Air District is encouraging residents to prepare for potential smoke impacts this summer to protect their health in the event of widespread unhealthy air quality.  

The Bay Area Air District is encouraging residents to prepare now for potential wildfire smoke impacts during the 2026 wildfire season. National and regional fire outlooks indicate near to above-normal wildfire potential across Northern California through much of the summer, driven by dry fuels, developing drought conditions and an active start to the wildfire season that is already impacting parts of the state.

The Air District urges Bay Area residents to take action to protect their health before major wildfires impact the region and warns residents of the dangers of lighting fireworks this Fourth of July.
