South Coast AQMD continues to make air quality information more accessible and user-friendly with recent updates to its award-winning mobile app, focusing on Open Burn features.

Whether you’re a resident, agency partner, or local fire department, the enhanced app streamlines how you stay
informed and in compliance with open burning regulations. The “Check Before You Burn” feature allows users to
instantly verify whether a residential wood-burning advisory is in effect in their area. This is especially critical during winter when wood smoke can significantly worsen air quality and public health.

The new “Permitted Burn” section also provides detailed guidance for agricultural and prescribed burns. Users can quickly find out if specific burn types are allowed and under what conditions. These updates reduce confusion and ensure that permitted burns follow South Coast AQMD’s guidelines to protect public health and the environment.

Simple visuals and helpful tooltips make the app’s new features intuitive for all users. Whether checking on local restrictions or air quality, the mobile app puts vital information at your fingertips.
