*Ocean Water Advisory Due to Fire Runoff Contamination*

"Avoid Water Contact"

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is issuing an Ocean Water Advisory out of an abundance of caution due to runoff from current fire-fighting efforts. The Department advises beach users to avoid all water contact, especially near discharging storm drains, creeks, and rivers due to potential debris from fires and contamination. This includes any runoff that may flow onto or pond on the beach sand.

This ocean water advisory is being issued due to the unknown quantity of fire-fighting runoff, including potentially toxic chemicals and debris, that have entered the ocean as a result of fire-fighting efforts. 


* Ocean and bay recreational waters from Surfrider Beach to Dockweiler State Beach at World Way, especially near discharging storm drains, creeks, rivers, and fire damaged ocean front properties.

Individuals who enter the water in these areas could become ill. This advisory will remain in effect until 3 days after fire-fighting efforts end and notification is provided by the Department of Public Health. 

Recorded information on beach conditions is available 24-hours a day on the County's beach closure hotline: 1-800- 525-5662. To view the map of impacted locations and for more information, please visit: PublicHealth.LACounty.gov/Beach/.
