The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District is extending

impacts from the Creek Fire, SQF Complex, and other wildfires
throughout California for San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Merced, Madera,
Fresno, Kings, Tulare, and Valley portion of Kern County.

The Air Quality Alerts issued by the Mariposa County and Tuolumne
County Air Pollution Control Districts remain in effect, due to
smoke impacts from surrounding wildfires for Mariposa and Tuolumne
Counties.

The Air Quality Alert issued by the Eastern Kern Air Pollution
Control District also remains in effect, due to smoke impacts
from surrounding wildfires for eastern Kern County. This covers
Lake Isabella south to Tehachapi and points east to Rosamond,
Boron and Ridgecrest.

These Air Quality Alerts are in effect until the fires are
extinguished.

Exposure to particle pollution can cause serious health problems,
aggravate lung disease, cause asthma attacks and acute
bronchitis, and increase risk of respiratory infections.

Residents are advised to use caution as conditions warrant.
People with heart or lung diseases should follow their doctor's
advice for dealing with episodes of unhealthy air quality.

Additionally, older adults and children should avoid prolonged
exposure, strenuous activities or heavy exertion, as conditions
dictate.
