Hazardous air quality warnings were issued throughout Los Angeles due to the ongoing fires.
The Los Angeles Fire Department on Monday said the Saddleridge fire ignited in an area of land behind voltage transmission tower on Thursday, despite Pacific Gas & Electric shutting down power for nearly two million customers across the state last week. Officials have yet to determine the cause of the Saddleridge Fire, though an investigation is ongoing.
While the poor air quality can negatively impact even the healthiest individuals, elevated PM 2.5 concentrations can be fatal for people suffering from heart disease, asthma and other respiratory problems. There are concerns air quality could weaken as fires continue to burn in Southern California, and residents are advised to avoid contact with ash.
