ORANGE COUNTY, CA \u2014 Multiple large brush fires burning across the Southland triggered a smoke advisory in Orange and Los Angeles counties. <\/p>\n
The South Coast Air Quality Management District issued the alert, which was in effect until 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, but could be extended depending on developments overnight and early Wednesday. <\/p>\n
Two substantial fires were burning in Riverside County: The Bain Fire in Jurupa Valley was mapped at 1,374 acres and was just 10 percent contained, and the Verona Fire in Homeland had scorched 439 acres. <\/p>\n
The fires sent plumes of smoke across the sky that could be visible in some parts of Orange County. <\/p>\n
The SCAQMD said Orange County and much of LA County were expected to be in the moderate Air Quality Index category or higher, with smoke coming ashore from the Santa Rosa Island Fire. Areas of Los Angeles County adjacent to the Sandy Fire may reach the unhealthy for sensitive groups category or higher.<\/p>\n
Depending on fire activity, smoke conditions were expected to improve Wednesday in areas not adjacent to active fires.<\/p>\n
