OCEANSIDE, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) -- As firefighters continue to battle wildfires burning throughout Los Angeles, the wind is bringing some of the smoke to the San Diego region, causing a dip in air quality and prompting North County fire officials to issue a smoke advisory. In northern San Diego County, residents might see and smell smoke in the air this weekend. Firefighters race to contain Los Angeles wildfires with menacing winds forecast to return The air quality in North County -- including in Oceanside, Fallbrook, Carlsbad, Vista, Escondido and San Marcos -- was "moderate" all day Saturday, which is above the normal "good" air quality residents normally have, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s resource AirNow.gov. The North County Fire Protection District Saturday afternoon issued a smoke advisory due to drift smoke from the ongoing fires. They did note there is no threat to the community. Deaths from L.A.
