So weird. It looks smokey in my area of Central Florida,

[Baitball Blogger]

but no smell of smoke. I heard emergency vehicles about an hour ago. Maybe this is residue? As I understand the pollution indexes, this should be a pleasant day. Wonder if it's safe to work outside.

Take that back. There is a smell to it. Smells like burnt plastic and/or rubber.

1. This is the time of year they do controlled burns in FL.

2. I checked the local sites and they say it extends all the way to Altamonte Springs.

So, probably not an accident. It just doesn't smell right to me.

Maybe they're burning the bodies?

LOL!

3. We get a lot of burning here in farmland

but not yet. I go out and if it smells like regular pasture burning I go ahead with my outside work but if it smells weird and chemical I go back in. We have too much stuff out here that could poison you if it burned from the Air Force Base, that is used a lot still but not actually active, and oil tanks all over. Just be safe, even regular burns can cause problems for you.

4. I passed a fire west of I-95 around Martin County.
