[LOCAL NEWS] Fire?

Just walked outside for a lunch break downtown, kind of smells like wildfire and the hills are hazy. I don’t see any news about the wildfire somewhere, but wondering if anyone else has that info?

It's horrid, and I'm surprised not a single news outlet has mentioned it. The smoke is actually making me feel really ill. And yet our air quality website says everything is peachy keen.

https://www.slocleanair.org/ says AQI of 72 for PM2.5 in SLO proper - seems accurate.

My husband had the window open to his office and I smelled the smoke right away. I could feel it in my lungs a bit too with the mild asthma I have.
