Winds Blow Ash From Burn Areas In L.A. Area

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Ash and dust from areas burned by recent wildfires is being blown across Los Angeles County by gusty Santa Ana winds.

The South Coast Air Quality Management District says ash fell Tuesday in the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys, north and east of downtown Los Angeles.

The AQMD says particles haven't reached unhealthy levels yet but urges people to minimize exposure.

The agency says that everyone, but especially those with heart or lung disease, older adults and children should limit outdoor activities in places where ash and dust is seen in the air.

A vast area of the Angeles National Forest north and east of Los Angeles was denuded this past summer by the Station Fire, the largest in Los Angeles County history. Other areas were burned by smaller fires.
