A wildfire in northern California is prompting a smoke advisory in the Reno area.
The Washoe County Health District says the Chips Fire near Belden, about 120 miles northeast of Sacramento, is causing elevated levels of ozone and fine particulate matter in portions of the county.
The agency is urging children, the elderly and those with respiratory or heart ailments to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary exposure to the smoke.
Health officials say a wind shift Saturday is expected to push smoke to the north and improve air quality in the Reno area.
Fire officials say the fire in the Plumas National Forest has consumed 7 square miles so far. It was 5 percent contained as of Friday morning.
