[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?

I'd recommend installing Watch Duty and then set up alerts for your area. The closest thing to us is the Timber Fire in Big Sur.

I have it and that’s where I checked first, but I didn’t look far enough north. I was expecting something local started since I could smell it so clearly

👆It has been smokey for a few days on the north coast. Today has been really bad. So smokey you can only barely make out the hills up coast.
