LA County enforces ban on leaf blowers amid new fire relief legislation

A wave of new legislation aimed at providing relief for fire-affected residents is on the horizon, as discussed in the Sierra Madre City Council's special meeting on January 21, 2025. City officials announced that updates on these bills will be shared with the council as they progress through the legislative process, highlighting the community's ongoing recovery efforts.

In addition to financial relief, the council addressed the ongoing public health order from LA County that prohibits the use of air blowers, including electric and gas-powered leaf blowers. This regulation remains in effect countywide, impacting landscaping services and residents alike. City officials urged the community to report any violations to code enforcement, emphasizing the importance of adhering to this health directive.

The discussions reflect the city's commitment to supporting its residents during challenging times while ensuring compliance with health regulations. As these new bills move forward, the council's updates will be crucial for residents seeking assistance and clarity on available resources.
