The Bay Area has extended the Spare The Air Alert until Sunday. Ash has been seen all over the Bay Area with wildfires not being able to be contained. People with lung disease, asthma, emphysema, and young children are recommended to stay indoors while the air remains in the unhealthy stage.
Bandanas and surgical face masks do not help stop the smoke matter from getting into your lungs. N95 masks are the only masks that are effective against the matter in the air from the fires.
