No-burn days · Yolo & northeastern Solano counties
Is there a Don't Light Tonight advisory in Yolo or Solano County?
The Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District posts each day's answer itself — by the channels below, not as a feed we could read without guessing. So this page tells you how the program works and exactly where today's call lives; it never shows a status we don't have.
How the program works here
From November 1 through the end of February, the Yolo-Solano AQMD forecasts fine-particle pollution daily, and when the forecast crosses the district’s threshold it calls a Don’t Light Tonight advisory asking residents not to use fireplaces or wood stoves. The advisory covers Yolo County and northeastern Solano County, including Vacaville, Dixon, and Rio Vista.
The district publishes the day’s advisory by phone, by its EnviroFlash alert service, on its Facebook page, and as a graphic on its own homepage when one is called — not as a feed a machine can read without guessing, so this page carries no live status. The district’s channels below have tonight’s answer.
Season: November 1 through the end of February.

No-burn calls flip with the evening forecast — confirm with the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District before you light. What you read here is not permission to burn.
The fire-season side of the question
A no-burn day is about winter air, not wildfire. The dry-season version — county burn bans and fire restrictions — lives on this site's find-your-county page and the California page . And if the fire is a woodpile question, the firewood BTU chart covers what a cleaner, drier cord actually buys you.
