The Day Fire has been burning since Labor Day, and is still putting up a ton of smoke. This was Wednesday on Ridge Route near the Grapevine. Today the skies over Pasadena looked almost this brown, even though we are very far from the fire. Also on wednesday, a fire started near Clear Creek School (where the fog was less than a week ago). That fire is contained and hopefully will not spring to life after the santa anas come back.
