Today is another no burn day. If you have any view in Silver Lake, you know that the crud in the air hasn't been pretty and particulate levels are up. The AQMD to the rescue, declaring no wood or wood products fires in designated areas. Click on map for full area. You might be saying, this isn't news to me. Well, it might be news to your friends, as we smelled fireplace smoking burning this morning. Be sure to share the info. To check if you're allowed to start a fire, go to http://www.aqmd.gov/. 

Unlike the Scouts who teach you how to start a fire, if you get caught on a no burn day, you'll receive a fine and a chance to take a class about not burning. For more info, go to Patch.com.
