No Burning Allowed in Lake Elsinore, Wildomar on Wednesday
The air quality control district has issued a "no-burn" alert for much of the Inland Empire.
A “no-burn” alert will affect parts of Riverside County, prohibiting the use of fireplaces from midnight Tuesday until midnight Wednesday.
The order by the South Coast Air Quality Management District was issued because of poor air quality across the region.
Fine particles in wood smoke can penetrate deep into lungs, causing respiratory problems for at-risk populations, SCAQMD officials said.
