The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency on Sunday issued a stage-1 burn ban for Snohomish and King counties. A stricter, stage-2 burn ban remains in effect for Pierce County.Pollution levels spiked in many areas throughout the Western Washington region during the weekend, especially in neighborhoods where wood-burning is common. http://gadgetsboss.com/story.php?title=kyle-leon-scam

So, in Snohomish County, no burning is allowed in fireplaces or uncertified wood stoves or uncertified fireplace inserts. People should use their furnace or electric baseboard heaters for a few days until air quality improves, the public health risk diminishes and the ban is canceled, agency officials said.The only exception is if a wood stove is a home's only adequate source of heat. http://cutetweets.com/story.php?title=grow-taller-4-idiots
