Long Beach, CA ~ Long Beach City Health Officer Recommends Residents and Landscaping Businesses Avoid Leaf Blowers During Wildfire Season
In light of the ongoing fires in the Los Angeles region, Long Beach City Health Officer, Dr. Anissa Davis, has issued a recommendation for residents and landscaping businesses to avoid using leaf blowers. The wildfires, located more than 35 miles away, have caused ash to travel great distances and settle on the ground. Using leaf blowers could stir up this ash and potentially impact air quality.
The Los Angeles County Department of Health, which oversees cities such as Pacific Palisades, Altadena, and Santa Clarita, has declared a Health Emergency related to the fires. Their health officer has also issued a health order prohibiting the use of leaf blowers. As Long Beach is its own health jurisdiction, Dr. Davis is monitoring air quality specifically in the city. While there is currently no order to prohibit leaf blower use in Long Beach, she has made this recommendation as a precautionary measure.

To minimize resuspending any ash into the air, Dr. Davis suggests alternative methods for cleaning outdoor surfaces. These include hosing down surfaces with a gentle stream of water, using a shop vacuum, or using a broom with softer bristles while lightly dampening the ground beforehand.
For media inquiries regarding this recommendation and other updates on the ongoing fires in the region, please contact the Joint Information Center at jic@longbeach.gov. As always, it is important for residents to stay informed and take necessary precautions during this time of heightened fire activity in Southern California.
