Fireplace Use Restricted/ JoAnne Golden

In San Joaquin Valley, residents are looking at three times the amount of
days that they are restricted from burning wood in their fireplaces. This
is in response to the air pollution and the consequences of it (more
specifically "asthma, heart disease and early death").

This new plan would ban the burning of wood in fireplaces for up to 30% of the year (which angers many who use this as their main source of heating). Since November, this has been an additional 10% increase on restrictions in San Joaquin Valley.
