The Past 24 Hours In LA
Where There's Smoke: It is ferociously hot this weekend and the air quality is unhealthy in many parts of Southern California. One expert told us: "If you smell smoke, or you see ash, or you see smoke in your area, you should try to limit your exposure." The concern about our air is warranted. On Friday, some areas of SoCal saw the highest levels of ozone over a one-hour period in a decade.
Fires Still Burning: Firefighters had to work in extreme heat as they tried to contain two wildfires burning near Los Angeles on Saturday. Evacuation order were lifted for a community affected by the Ranch 2 Fire near Azusa. Meanwhile the Lake Fire, burning near Lake Hughes, had destroyed six structures and damaged three.
Latest COVID-19 Numbers: L.A. County health officials on Saturday reported 35 new deaths from COVID-19 across the county, and 2,103 new confirmed cases.
New Testing Site: A free COVID-19 testing site at the Mexican Consulate by MacArthur Park has opened to address the need for testing in the surrounding community, home to many immigrants from Latin America.
