Smoky conditions from the Butte Co. wildland fires have compromised the air quality in our region.  We offer the following suggestions if you have respiratory challenges:
 

• Close windows, air vents, and fireplace dampers
• Turn off whole house fans, heating and air conditioning systems
• Don’t forget to bring your pets inside too
• Continue to monitor the news outlets, radio, internet or other mediums for updates
• Call 911 if you need to report a life-threatening condition or event

 
The Richmond Fire Department has sent a crew of four firefighters as part of a Contra Costa County Task Force to help extinguish the  Butte County wildland fires..  They have arrived at base camp and will receive a working assignment this morning.  All City of Richmond fire resources remain at full staff.
