Los Angeles is not affected by the Garden Grove chemical tank crisis, Mayor Karen Bass said, citing confirmation from the Los Angeles Fire Department that there is no risk to the city.
Tens of thousands of Orange County residents are being impacted by the incident, which Bass said city officials are closely monitoring as it unfolds.
LAFD has sent a hazmat specialist to support Orange County responders as a subject-matter expert and remains on standby to provide more resources if needed.
Bass urged Angelenos to avoid the area while LAFD stays in contact with the Orange County Fire Authority and California's emergency services office.
