Smoke - Riverheights
5/11/2019 at 3:54 PM
Does anyone know what the smoke was about in Riverheights this afternoon?
I smelled smoked, heard a siren and then the smoke hung heavy for quite awhile. I smelled "clean" like wood or grass fire. Defininately east of Fotheringham.
With it being so dry, it wouldn't surprise me if it was a grass fire sparked by the train (two trains went by in the 10 minutes before I smelled smoke), but that's purely speculation on my part. But it *is* very dry down those walking paths, nothing is greening up very fast with no moisture. Something I worry about!
