Steps
Go to https://www.baaqmd.gov/alertstatus to see whether a Spare the Air Alert (which prohibits use of wood-burning devices) is currently in effect.
If unsure, call the district's burn status line at 1-800-792-0787 for a verbal status.
For agricultural/prescribed burning (not residential wood stoves), check the separate Open Burn map/notification page instead.
Combine with same-day AQI data (e.g., via AirNow) to explain why an alert was or wasn't issued.
Known gotchas
This is a web status page, not a documented public API or data feed — no machine-readable Spare the Air endpoint was confirmed during this check; treat programmatic use as page-scraping, not an API integration.
A 'no alert' status does not mean wood-burning is unrestricted everywhere in the Bay Area — some individual counties/cities layer their own year-round or seasonal wood-smoke ordinances on top of Spare the Air alerts.
