  ban for residents in the South Coast Air Basin. The No-Burn rule
  bans burning wood, pellets, and manufactured fire logs in any
  indoor or outdoor wood-burning device.

* WHERE...The South Coast Air Basin, which includes Orange County
  and non-desert portions of Los Angeles, Riverside, and San
  Bernardino counties. No-Burn Day alerts do not apply to areas above
  3,000 feet in elevation, the Coachella Valley, or the High Desert.
  Homes that rely on wood as a sole source of heat, low-income
  households and those without natural gas service also are exempt
  from the requirement.

* WHEN...Midnight tonight to midnight Friday.

* IMPACTS...Particles in smoke can get deep into the lungs and cause
  health problems (including asthma attacks), increases in emergency
  room visits, and hospitalizations. No-Burn Days are needed to
  protect public health when fine particle pollution levels are
  expected to be high anywhere in the South Coast Air Basin. No- Burn
  Days are based on fine particle pollution levels that are
  forecasted for an entire 24-hour period, which may not be reflected
  in real- time air quality maps.
