The Butte County Air Quality Management District is asking Chico area residents to voluntarily refrain from using their wood stoves and fireplaces today until 12:01 am Thursday morning. This due to an air quality forecast that is unhealthy for sensitive groups.
According to a Butte County Air Quality Management District press release, wood stove and fireplace use is already restricted within Chico city limits by a city ordinance.
