Air quality back to normal in L.A. Basin
Air quality has improved to “good” and “moderate” levels in Los Angeles County after clouds of smoke from the nearly three-week Station fire prompted health officials to caution residents and warn against strenuous outdoor activities.
The South Coast Air Quality Management
District has not issued a smoke advisory since Thursday and has since reported that most unhealthy air in the Los Angeles Basin is not attributed to the fire, said spokesman Sam Atwood.

“There is a small possibility where there could be some unhealthy air quality in areas that are directly impacted by smoke, but we just haven’t seen that occurring in the San Gabriel or San Fernando valleys the last couple of days,” Atwood said.
He said that air quality levels, particularly in some of the foothill areas, had reached hazardous levels at the outset of the blaze.
