Wildfire smoke from southern Sierra blazes will continue to bring haze to Bay Area skies through Monday, air district officials said.
An air quality advisory for the region was issued for Monday by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
Pollution levels are not expected to exceed federal health standards and no Spare the Air Alert will be in effect.
When the smell of smoke is present, residents should stay inside with windows and doors closed until smoke levels subside, if temperatures allow. It is also recommended that air conditioning units and car vent systems be set to re-circulate to keep outside air from moving inside.
Interesting 60 Minutes recently about wildfires and the use of special helicopters to put out fires day and night. Of course some fire fighter reps and Government has issues with it in Nor Cal. Let’s spend billions to save millions.
For the 17 million the helicopters cost that hold three thousand gallons they could buy used 747s that hold nineteen thousand gallons and can be fitted with the same night flying technology.
How much money did BAAQMD cost the taxpayers to tell us the obvious?
