The grumpy Bay Area Air Quality Management District issued a "Spare the Air" alert today, the fourth one of the year! "The advisory prohibits indoor and outdoor burning of wood, manufactured logs or any other solid fuel, meaning it is illegal for Bay Area residents and businesses to use their fireplaces, woodstoves and inserts, pellet stoves, outdoor fire pits or any other wood-burning devices," shuns the air people. So, you know, don't do stuff like this today. [via Examiner]
