Air quality impacted
Smoky California wildfires

Several large wildfires are burning across California, with three large ones burning in Southern California.

The Bridge fire in the video above has burned more than 75 square miles in San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties. It grew by 10 fold between Monday and Tuesday. Local evacuations have been ordered and as of Tuesday night, no containment has been reported.

The smoke is causing the air quality to drop across the West due to the wildfires. The latest AQI for you location can be found on the main page of our app.
