When the Town of Mammoth Lakes experiences periods of clear, cold and calm weather with minimal breeze, the air quality deteriorates. Wood smoke from fireplaces and stoves cannot dissipate, and sometimes builds up to unhealthy levels that could have serious health consequences. To keep our air as clean as possible, please do your part by following these simple steps:
• Only burn clean and hot fires
• Check your chimney periodically for emissions
• Call (760) 934-1010 for any word burning restrictions
• Abide by the “No Wood Burning” Days restrictions
The Town of Mammoth Lakes continually monitors air quality, and will announce “no wood burning” days when air quality is forecast to approach unhealthy levels. To find out if wood burning restrictions have been announced, please listen to KMMT 106.5, Sierra Wave 92.5, KIBS 100.7, watch Mammoth Lakes Community Channel 51, or call (760) 934-1010.
