   LA Times: Deputies warned to decontaminate clothes after lead, asbestos found in air near Eaton fire

   The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department sent an urgent message out to patrol cars Wednesday afternoon, warning deputies in Altadena that, after days of nearby wildfires, the air is so toxic they should wear masks and decontaminate their uniforms before stepping foot in their homes.

   Sent at 4:35 p.m., the message began “**Attn all personnel**” and said that the Los Angeles County Fire Department’s hazmat team reported the air in Altadena is “‘hazardous, containing lead, asbestos and other harmful particulates.”

     @ai6yr I was seeing plenty of warnings on day one from firefighters advising on the toxic nature of the smoke due to structures being burned and talking about procedures for masking, stripping off outside, etc.

     Apparently firefighters have gotten increasingly serious about this stuff in relation to firehouses and their homes. They statistically have much higher rates of cancer and cancer deaths than the wider population and we all saw what 9/11 did to first responders.

     @ai6yr Hard to believe the police took so long to issue a notice.
