This site gives daily reports about particulate matter in the air, including the level of health concern.

The San Diego Pollution Control District warns:

"Due to the numerous wild fires burning throughout San Diego County, localized areas of smoke and ash have occurred in many areas. As a result elevated particulate matter concentrations, including fine particulates, or PM2.5 concentrations, may reach unhealthful to hazardous levels in some heavily smoke impacted areas."

The California Environmental Protection Agency has an excellent website with quick facts about the 2007 fires, information on state and federal assistance, and how to clean up ash safely: http://www.calepa.ca.gov/Disaster/Fire/default.htm
