Burbank, CA (January 15, 2025) REMINDER: Los Angeles Public Health has recently declared a Local Health Emergency and issued a Public Health Officer Order in response to the widespread impacts of the ongoing multiple critical fire events and windstorm conditions.
Effective immediately, Public Health has implemented a temporary countywide ban on the use of power air blowers, including leaf blowers, until further notice. These devices stir up ash and harmful particles, worsening air quality and increasing health risks.
For concerns, questions, or to report any issues, contact Environmental Health at (888) 700-9995 (Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.) or email [email protected].
