The South Coast Air Quality Management District has issued a smoke
advisory in response to that fire that destroyed a pair of commercial
structures in Maywood. The agency reports that complaints about the odor from
the smoke are being reported throughout the area, including the San Fernando
Valley, and experts are taking measurements to assess possible toxic concerns.
Residents are being advised to avoid vigorous outdoor exercise in areas
affected by the smoke, particularly in central, south-central and southeastern
parts of the county. People with heart or respiratory disease, children and
older adults should remain indoors.
Authorities are checking to see if the smell is toxic.
