The South Coast Air Quality Management District issued a one-day ban Sunday on the use of indoor and outdoor wood-burning devices throughout Southern California due to a forecast of high air pollution in the area.
The ban doesn’t apply to mountain communities above 3,000 feet, the Coachella Valley or the High Desert.“No-burn alerts are mandatory in order to protect public health when levels of fine particulate air pollution in the region are forecast to be high,” the agency said in a statement. Burning wood and manufactured fire logs, including those made from wax or paper, is banned in the affected areas, the agency said.
