Wildfire Smoke and Air Quality Impact

Red flag conditions, lightning risk, strong winds, and smoke from the Woodside and Timber fires continue to affect Bay Area planning. The Timber Fire is approximately 2,500 acres and 5% contained; outdoor recommendations, including the Skyline Watershed Ridge Trail, require current AQI, trail-status checks, and official fire guidance. Highway 1 closures and South Bay landfill odors remain relevant public-safety context.
