The Spare the Air alert for Friday was the ninth one issued by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District in 2023.
Another layer of thick haze greeted Bay Area residents with the sunrise early Thursday, but forecasters said the dirty skies weren’t quite as dirty even if they weren’t clean.
The district extended its Spare the Air alert for the region into Friday, marking the third straight day that Bay Area residents can’t burn wood or manufactured fire logs in any wood-burning place such as a fireplace or firepit.Smoke from wildfires burning in Oregon and in Humboldt and Del Norte counties in Northern California continued to billow toward the region from the coastline Thursday.
By 9 a.m., the district’s Air Quality Index readings showed a region-high of 113 in an area of Pleasanton. A figure from 101-150 means the air is unhealthy for children, seniors and those with breathing issues. Elsewhere, the air quality around the region fell into the moderately healthy range.
