Air Quality

Prescribed fires pushed Redding's air to a very unhealthy level on Thursday

If you noticed the haze Thursday, Shasta Scout says the spike was likely due to prescribed fires across Shasta County. Redding's air quality index peaked at 229 in late morning, Shasta Scout reported, then eased by 2 p.m. to "unhealthy for sensitive groups." Smoke may settle in low-lying areas overnight.

IQAir forecast Redding's smoke reading falling from 215 to 128 by 4 p.m.
