Fires Make Air Quality Worse

And now for something from the No Shit Sherlock department: Sooty air puts some at risk

Air quality remained poor in the central San Bernardino Mountains and parts of the San Bernardino Valley, as well as swaths of Orange and Riverside counties. In San Diego County, where only two of five major fires were more than 50 percent contained, the air was especially dismal Friday.

Really? That's funny. I thought massive fires improved air quality. After the Cedar Fire of 2003 in San Diego, I had respiratory problems for at least a year. For the life of me, I can't figure out what caused it.
