The Bay Area Air Quality Management District is lifting the Health Advisory & Spare the Air Alert due to significantly improved air quality conditions from favorable wind patterns and increased fire containment. However, unhealthy air quality will still be present in the immediate vicinity of actively burning fires.

The Air District is issuing an air quality advisory for Thursday, September 17 through Friday, September 18, due to possible smoke impacts from wildfires. There is no Spare the Air Alert in effect Thursday or Friday and air quality is not expected to be unhealthy.

Due to heavy smoke blowing into the Bay Area from the Camp Fire in Butte County, the Air District is issuing a Winter Spare the Air Alert starting tonight, Thursday, November 8, through Friday, November 9.
