SEAL BEACH, CA \u2014 We hate to put a damper on your weekend, Seal Beach, but authorities placed a mandatory no-burn order Tuesday in Orange County. <\/p>\n
The order, placed by the South Coast Management District, prohibits indoor and outdoor wood burning due to a forecast of high pollution in the area. It is not currently known whether the order will continue into the week.<\/p>\n
The wood-burning ban will be in effect through 11:59 p.m. Saturday for all those in the South Coast Air Basin, including the non-desert portions of Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino and the whole of Orange County.<\/p>\n
However, the order does not apply to mountain communities above 3,000 feet, the Coachella Valley or the high desert. Homes that rely on wood as a sole source of heat, low-income households and households without natural gas service are also not included in the order.<\/p>\n
The no-burn rule prohibit burning wood as well as manufactured fire logs made from wax or paper.<\/p>\n
Gas and other non-wood burning fireplaces are not restricted, the SCAQMD said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SEAL BEACH, CA \u2014 We hate to put a damper on your weekend, Seal Beach, but authorities placed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83627,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[131,133,132],"class_list":["post-83626","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83626"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83626\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
