LOS ANGELES—A ban on indoor and outdoor wood burning is in effect Jan. 15 in much of Southern California due to a forecast of high air pollution in the area, air quality regulators said.
The residential wood-burning ban will be in effect until at least 11:59 p.m. Monday for all those in the South Coast Air Basin, including the non- desert portions of Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, and all of Orange County.
