Don't light your firewood

With colder nights settling in across the Bay Area — and Thanksgiving just around the corner — many families are preparing to light up their fireplaces for a warm, cozy holiday. But before you strike that match, the Bay Area Air District (formerly the Bay Area Air Quality Management District) is reminding residents about new wood-burning regulations that could impact when and how you can enjoy that fire.
