Air quality officials in Southern California and the Bay Area have issued bans on wood burning due to high air pollution levels. The ban, which began on Christmas Eve, has been extended through Christmas Day in several counties, including LA, OC, Riverside, San Bernardino, and the Bay Area. The bans are in response to concerns about air quality and aim to prevent the exacerbation of pollution levels.
