The Bay Area Air Quality Management District extended its streak of Spare the Air alerts into the weekend due to smoke from the Glass Fire, which is burning in Sonoma, Napa and Lake counties.
Burning wood and other solid fuels will be illegal indoors and outdoors during the Spare the Air alert window, which the district extended through Saturday. Bay Area residents are also advised to reduce their time spent outdoors to avoid inhaling particulate matter pollution.
The district has extended its Spare the Air alert several times since late September, when the Glass Fire began burning at the same time a heat wave blanketed the region.

I would be willing to agree to a permanent “Bay Area Spare The Air” IF the Bay Area Air Quality Management District was permanently disbanded and every single person employed at the district was fired (not just transferred to some other government job).
and leaf blowing dummies would get the message they are slowly killing themselves and anyone in their range shot.
Gas blowers create much more noise impact than electric blowers. Gas leaf blowers create high levels of formaldehyde, benzine, fine particulate matter and smog forming chemicals which are known to cause dizziness, headaches, asthma attacks, heart and lung disease, cancer and dementia.
@Aunt Barbara…..Obviously you’ve been within range shot too many times and have early onset dementia as you mention gas leaf blowers almost daily and seemingly don’t remember doing it. You might want to get that checked….just sayin’.
