Current air quality due to the fire near Disneyland

[az4boys]

If anyone is in the parks today (10/10) or tomorrow (10/11), I'd love to get a first-hand report on the air quality. The Canyon Fire 2 started yesterday and is burning east of the parks. I know air quality is reported at "moderate - 60" but I have nothing to compare that to so I don't really know what to expect. Thank you!

watching... We are supposed to fly down Friday and meet up with out of town family who are also flying in for the weekend. Too late to cancel our hotel but could apply SW fares in future and our 3 day hoppers. We'd be out the party ticket though.

I got really sick w/ the NorCal fire smoke yesterday (still feeling nauseous) so I'm very worried about air quality for me and my family as we are 60 miles from the NorCal blaze and DL is much closer than that to the active flames. Thx to another thread, I want to buy and bring some masks but first a question - the halloween party faq's say no face masks but clearly this is an exception as it's not a costume. If anyone is at the parks, are people allowed to wear face masks like this one:

If I were going in the next few days and needed to know about air quality, I'd use these two links to see what conditions are.

I watch the Mattercam some days just to see a few of the parks iconic structures.

There's a link to a webcam at the top of this forum. http://www.hojoanaheim.com/take-a-tour/webcam
It will at least let you see what the air looks like.

Thanks! That's really helpful!

You could play around with this. I'm in Oregon, and we dealt with fires last month. There was a website I went to daily to check the air quality (though all you had to do was look outside to know that all animals and kids should be inside). That was more local, but similar to the one above.

I Live in Sandy, that Gorge fire is horrible!

You have my empathy there. We had days where the AQI was hazardous and the air was literally brown outside. You couldn't even see trees through the backyard a few houses away, much less the mountains. It was just awful. Seems like the west has been on fire this year.

Sitting at Pizza Port in TL now. The air quality is great; there's no indication of a nearby fire. I'm asthmatic and sensitive to smoke, soot, etc. and am having zero trouble. It's a great time to come to the park(s)!

This is good news. We're coming down next weekend from Santa Rosa. We're are two blocks from mandatory evac and are ready to go if we get the word. Our power was restored last night and we're staying home and out of the way for now. We are feeling very fortunate right now, and looking forward to a few days of levity if it works out.

We are coming down next weekend as well, from Napa. I have never needed fresh air more than right now.

got back last night - was there all Fri-Mon and the air quality was fine - but it was very hot (97 yesterday). Now I'm back in NorCal in the smoke. Heard another set of fires started up closer to me. So sad and scary. Bring on the rain please! Never thought I'd go to SoCal and have better air quality.
