Chillier temperatures in the forecast are expected to bring increased smoke from wood burning around the Bay Area, prompting air district officials to issue the winter season’s first Spare the Air Alert for Saturday.
Burning wood, manufactured fire logs or any other solid fuel, both indoors and outdoors, is banned during air alerts.
“The Bay Area is expected to experience unhealthy air quality due to weather conditions that trap wood smoke near the ground and allow it to build up,” said Jack Broadbent, executive officer of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
It’s illegal for residents and businesses in the region to use their fireplaces, wood stoves, pellet stoves, outdoor fire pits or any other wood-burning devices during a Spare the Air Alert.
Who is worse BAAQMD or the county health officer?
Gavin Newsome
Gruesome Newsome
Why don’t all the county officials tell us what we sheep are allowed to do? The list is much shorter and easier to remember.
If the Rioters don’t have to stay home & are praised, then I don’t have to stay home.
Appointed political donors should never have the authority to rule over the people.
The people need to speak and speak loudly.
Jack Broadbent still has a job!!!????? Next to Doctor F and the CCC Supervisors… he’s definitely in the Incompetent Leader Hall of Fame!
Ahhh…..I see Broadbent is getting jealous of the power being weirded by Dr Fariantano so he has to show he can control the sheep also.
More unelected bureaucrats trying to control our lives.
Contra Costa County can shove their edicts where the sun don’t shine. I’m revolting, like people did during Prohibition, which led to the new word “scofflaw.” What word will we invent for those who revolt against the Little Eichmanns working for Contra Costa County? Maybe “American?”
@ A
The word you are looking for is Patriot.
Sure, jump on the restriction bandwagon! Slow time if the year for group. Gotta keep reminding us that they are still around. GO
SHOVE IT!!,,,,,
I like Patriot.
American Patriot would be great.
AmPat?
I’m having a mostly peaceful protest which means I can burn whenever and whatever I want! Tires, pallets, garbage clothing. Just make a big pile and start burning.
My favorite is old railroad track ties.
They’re full of oil and it takes gallons of paint thinner to keep them burning hot and smokey.
Time for a nice fire as it will smell like woodfires all winter in my area and NOBODY CARES what CCC says
Time to stock up on firewood.
Coming up 101 yesterday, thought there was a fire.
Looked like the LA basin back in the 80s.
FYI it is still Fall. Winter begins on Dec. 21st.
Well see…. That’s how they play their games…
Meteorological Winter started on Dec 1.
Astronomical Winter starts on the 21st.
The BAAQMD toys with the different start dates for all seasons to play the statistic game.
Spare me! I am sick and tired of Animal Farm rules.
None of this is based on ‘settled science’ because settled science takes many years to be proven. What we do know is that the virus does spread even with government taking away our U.S. Constitution rights. What we do know is that distance learning is harming an entire generation of students. What we do know is that many small businesses are closing and their owners forced into bankruptcy.
If these regulations were a medical treatment or medicine, you could sue them for malpractice or for being a dangerous product. This ‘cure’ is worse than the disease.

It says we can/t have a fire in our wood burners…not true, I have one going right now!!!
Nice. So do we. Remember all your neighbors are who will be there for you, not Newsome or these people who say we can’t burn. We need all that can bring us happiness and joy.
Geoengineering. Look it up.
@TPC…..Well of course, look up in the sky, the chemtrails have been all over lately. I have matching tinfoil masks and hats for sale, cheaper by the bulk.
Sad, but some people are burning wood to stay warm because they have lost jobs and cannot afford the inflated PG&E bills.
The fire burning in my fireplace is a protest against PG&E and the bureaucrats that allowed them to kill people while raising our rates to pay for it. I’m broke, I’m cold, I’m making a fire! Gavin can go suck a tail pipe
