Up north of the city, near the lake, there has been a big brush fire burning since about 2:30 this afternoon. The lady I work for lives near there, a few miles from fire, and we saw the smoke pretty far off. When we got to her house, there was ash falling through the air...and we could smell the smoke..and as I said, she lives several miles away.
I drove by after leaving her house, and it was pretty big and intense then. It is 11PM now and fire is still burning,,they are going to keep it wet and just let it burn out. They said it is lucky the fire did not start yesterday, when we had 50 MPH winds.
