The Bay Area Air Quality Management District has extended a Spare the Air alert through Friday due to wildfire smoke that continues to linger in the region from fires burning further north in California and southern Oregon.
The alerts, which include a ban on burning wood or other solid fuels in the Bay Area, were also in effect for Wednesday and Thursday because of the smoke coming from several massive wildfires, such as the Smith River Complex Fire, SRF Lightning Complex and Redwood Lightning Complex fires, the Flat Fire and the Anvil Fire.
If people smell smoke, they are encouraged to stay inside with windows and doors closed and to set air conditioning units and car vent systems to recirculate to prevent outside air from coming inside.

Meh… We’re not altering our plans.

Are these government bureaucrats trying to lose the respect of citizens? If so, they’re doing a great job
Remember people that live in fear are easier to control. This is what our state government does all the time. Fear the smoke in the air. Fear the mosquitoes, fear the heat of a summer day. Stop listening to all of their B S alerts and take of yourself and enjoy your life!

I’m gonna throw up if I hear another public official say, “Out of an abundance of caution….”

While I don’t trust the government, Federal, State or Local, I do fear the ignorance of many people out there who lack common sense and logic. Good luck on surviving!
Anybody else experiencing little or no bee activity in your garden due to the wild fire smoke?
no, but now that you ask
I’m not seeing the humming birds I usually so….
Are they even trying to put the fires out anymore?
