Put Down That Log: Another No-Burn Day Planned
New Year's Eve parties have to go fire-free, at least until it's officially 2014.
By City News Service
Wood-fired heating will be prohibited starting at midnight tonight in Lake Forest and lasting 24 hours into New Year’s Eve, because of high smog levels and stagnant air.
The “no burn day” order will be in effect in Los Angeles and Orange counties, and much of the Inland Empire, with a few exceptions, said officials at the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
