The Butte County Air Quality Management District issued the advisory Wednesday and is now continuing it today until Midnight tonight. Officials are asking residents in the Chico area to voluntarily refrain from using their woodstoves and fireplaces today due to an air quality forecast that they say is unhealthy for sensitive groups.
