An air quality advisory is in effect for Sonoma County through Monday due to smoke from the 341-acre Chileno Fire burning in northern Marin County near the county border.
Current Status & Air Quality Impact

Affected Areas: Southern Sonoma County, including Petaluma and surrounding downwind areas.
Air Quality Levels: Areas may experience “Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups,” “Unhealthy,” or “Very Unhealthy” air quality depending on drifting smoke patterns.

Avoid Strenuous Activity: Refrain from outdoor exercising, wood burning, barbecuing, lawn mowing, and other activities that stir up dust or worsen pollution.
Wear a Mask: If you must go outside, wear a well-fitting N95 or KN95 mask.
