USA Fires in Los Angeles:: County declares health emergency

Due to the fires that have been raging for days in and around Los Angeles, the county declared a public health emergency on Friday (local time). The enormous amounts of unhealthy smoke and particulate matter in the air have led to a significant deterioration in air quality, according to a statement from the district. In order to curb the spread of ash, smoke and particulate matter, the authorities have banned the use of equipment such as leaf blowers until further notice.
