First Spare The Air Days Announced For 2015

(CBS SF) --  The Bay Area Air Quality Management District has issued Friday and Saturday as the first Spare the Air days for smog in 2015.

Air quality is forecast to be unhealthy Friday, Jan. 2 and Saturday, Jan. 3. A large dome of high-pressure combined with low winds and motor vehicle exhaust are expected to cause unhealthy ozone pollution in the Bay Area.

For both those days, it is illegal for Bay Area residents to burn wood or other solid fuels in fireplaces, wood stoves, outdoor fire-pits or in other wood-burning devices.
