'Spare the Air' Day Called on Christmas Eve Day
A Spare the Air Day means burning wood is illegal.
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District has declared Saturday, Christmas Eve Day, a Spare the Air Day due to unhealthy air quality forecast in the region.
A Spare the Air Day means burning wood, manufactured fire logs or any other solid fuel, both indoors and outdoors is prohibited for 24 hours.
