Started smelling smoke through my open window while I was working at my computer in the afternoon. It was far too early for the occasional evening smoke I catch a whiff of whenever a neighbor uses their fireplace on cooler nights.
I hurried to the backyard worried it might be a canyon fire, but it turned out to be another freeway median fire, about the fourth one I’ve seen since I’ve lived here. Oddly enough they always seem to occur in the about the same spot.
The fire department was already on scene extinguishing the flames. In other words, not really all that exciting.
