non-desert portions of Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino

in elevation, the Coachella Valley, or the High Desert. Homes that
rely on wood as a sole source of heat, low-income households and
those without natural gas service also are exempt from the
requirement.

* WHEN…Monday, December 30, 2024 through Tuesday, December 31, 2024.

protect public health when fine particle pollution levels are
expected to be high anywhere in the South Coast Air Basin. No-Burn
Days are based on fine particle pollution levels that are
forecasted for an entire 24-hour period, which may not be reflected
in real-time air quality maps.
