Luckily, at least for those of us in the Bay Area, most of the smoke from the massive Park Fire burning in four inland NorCal counties has not been blowing our direction — at least not yet. But smoke from the Pedro Fire, a much smaller fire that is burning near Modesto, is headed our way.

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District issued an air quality advisory for Wednesday because of the expected inflow of smoke from the Pedro Fire, which has burned around 900 acres in Mariposa and Tuolumne counties, east of Modesto.

Air quality is expected to remain in the Moderate category around the Bay Area, but we can expect likely hazy skies, and possibly the smell of smoke at higher elevations.

The air quality district issued a similar advisory for Sunday and Monday as some high-level smoke from the Park Fire drifted our way and caused some high-level haze. Bay Area air quality remained in the Good and Moderate categories despite the haze.

"Wildfire smoke contains fine particulate matter and other harmful pollutants. Exposure to wildfire smoke is unhealthy, even for short periods of time," the district says.

They advise anyone with respiratory conditions to remain indoors with good air filtration and take precautions during these advisories.

The Park Fire likely still remains the biggest threat to our air quality, as it is still only 18% contained. It has burned 389,791 acres as of this morning, up from 383,000 acres on Tuesday.
