District warns of asbestos dangers in fire damaged homes

The South Coast Air Quality Management District is warning fire victims to look out for asbestos in the debris of burned houses.
Home and building built before 1984 may contain asbestos materials, according to a statement from the district.
If asbestos is suspected a certified asbestos consultant can conduct a survey to identify any asbestos containing materials. Residents should hire a licensed asbestos abatement contractor if asbestos is known to be present in debris.
For more information call the district's asbestos hotline at (909) 396-2336.
