Raiders handing out masks because of fires

OAKLAND -- With the deadly Camp Fire in Northern California raging just a few hours north of here and a lingering smell of charcoal in the air, the Oakland Raiders made masks available to those who wanted them as they entered the stadium.

On Friday, the NFL issued a statement saying they were "monitoring conditions in California and are in close communication with the clubs and local authorities," but Sunday's game between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Raiders is still scheduled to start at 1:05 p.m. local time.

Security at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum were also required to wear masks as they worked.
