Baker/Santiago Canyon Fire - did it smell in your hood?

when i took the dogs out for a potty break at 6 this morning i could smell the burnt ashes or just the smell of something burning.

Socal - this is right north of your hood, if i could smell it in tustin, i can only imagine what the smell was like in your part of town - how bad was it?

Yeah, pretty strong smell Sunday because we got a double whammy. The canyon fire plus a southern wind blowing the Camp Pendleton smoke our way. We shoved a towel under our front door to help make it bearable for me last night.

That was PS9 finishing up his grilling at Honda Ya.

we are in woodbury and it took us a while to realize it was coming from outside.  kept opening windows and kept smelling more smoke.

A wind shift at around 7:00 last night pushed a terrific amount of smoke from the Baker / Santiago fire into our neighborhood. It faded by the morning.

It was a mulch fire.  Made me wonder if spreading mulch around in your yard is a good idea.
