Fire?

[Rascal]

Just opened the garage to go for a quick road ride and smell that distinct and awful smell of trees burning.

Anyone have the details?

I'm in Irvine and I see ash falling. Strong fire smell as well.

Probably your chain smoking neighbor.

No it was me with the bong hits, sorry mate.

I wish.

I'm in Irvine too and am now seeing ash fall like Dubjay said.

I think it's coming from the west - so that means either Bommer, Aliso or CC! Hopefully my eyes are deceiving me.

Better to smell trees burning then wires in your walls. Both suck but ones easier to find.

Just came back from a quick spin, the CNF is covered in a haze, but no visible flames.

Definitely not from the West.

Being home hurt sucks but I was able to find this for you!

I ride through that area on my 11 mile loop-out the front door "Shady Canyon Loop." The smoke was bad earlier, but it is much clearer now and I suspect our wonderful OC fire fighting crews have extinguished it.
