SAN FRANCISCO -- Let's hope you weren't planning to cook that turkey over an open fire.
Air quality officials have called a Spare the Air alert for Thanksgiving, meaning the burning of wood and manufactured fire logs is banned both indoors and outdoors from midnight tonight until midnight Thursday.
The use of any wood-burning device, including fireplaces, wood stoves, pellet stoves and outdoor fire pits, is illegal during that period, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District said.
The wood-burning ban covers Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, southern Sonoma and southwestern Solano counties.

They can stuff it.
What a bunch of stick-in-the-muds ... next week will start the "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" ban .....
BAHHH !!!
Unless you put an American flag atop your fire, in which case the econazis will respect your freedom of speech and leave you alone.
Yeah, what you said!
There's ALWAYS something wrong with the air and yet....and yet....where are the bodies of the dead?
The CARB bin Lyin....
The CARB bin killin....our jobs.
These people have lost all sense of reasoning.
Glad I moved out of Ca to Tx you wont be ostracized for smoking a turkey in your yard instead of smoking a pole at the bath house.
It makes perfect sense that Pelosi represents these people.
To The BAAQMD go Fuch yourselves.
They will
All human activity leads to death. Just look at any cemetery.
Surely, they’ll also ban cigarette/pipe/snuff occasionally but pot - hey, no problem man.
It’s horrible. My mother has a houseful of East Coast relatives and they can’t believe for the first time ever, in 40 years, we will have no fire on Thanksgiving. It’s so cozy and wonderful and my mother won’t put on her heater (she has a great fireplace), so we will now have a cold and dark Thanksgiving.
We told her we’d all chip in and pay any fine but she says she doesn’t want to take a reeducation class in Sacramento.
Truly horrible. A real downfall to living in CA. But today I spent the day wine tasting in beautiful Napa Valley; these times offset the horribleness. . .
Well, why doesn’t someone file a lawsuit?
That’s how we got the stupid agency in the first place!
BAAQMD can go feed the sharks in SF Bay.
It’s THANKSGIVING, and cold!
BURN, BABY, BURN!
