Today reports came in about ash and smoke in town, due to the fire in Riverside.

Post by: KW on Jul 18, 03, 08:21:20 AM: Oh, Elmer, you were just hungry. I talked to the lovely Mrs. Fudd and she told me that you're always smelling barbecues, even when you only get chicken noodle soup for dinner; wishful thinking, I guess...

Post by: ssgramma on Jul 18, 03, 01:21:43 PM: Depending where you live you might be able to smell the smoke from someone in my neighborhood who burns trash in their fireplace fairly often! 1st I smell woodsmoke then comes the smell of trash burning :(

Post by: ssgramma on Jul 18, 03, 03:10:57 PM: VERY!!!! Wish they wouldn't do it! And it always later in the evening when you can't see smoke coming from the chimney - so how to be sure exactly who it is? I pretty well know but proving it would be another thing.

Post by: bootsmiles on Jul 18, 03, 11:09:25 PM: I don't like that trashburning either. But try to keep in mind, that some people do not own a car (to take the stuff to the dump) and cannot afford to pay for trash pick-up!

Post by: Ensen on Jul 19, 03, 12:54:11 AM: Seems to me the small cost of trash service would be less than the cost of a chimney sweep as often as they would need it. OTOH, if they can't afford anything, they're probably not sweeping the chimney. Hope they're not a neighbor of mine.... :o
Title: SMOKE??

Post by: GirlFarmer on Jul 22, 07, 05:13:06 AM: There's been a strong smell of smoke on the west side for the last couple hours.

Post by: storm on Jul 22, 07, 03:01:05 PM: Those of you who live near the Wrightwood Methodist Camp should be aware that the Fire Dept. still allows the camp to have campfires, purportedly because they have a large metal hood about 4 feet above the pit. It gets used 1-2 times per week, but 50% of the time the coals are still active in the morning.

I'm sorry GirlFarmer. That would probably be my barbeque. I'm on the west side near the top of Apple. I started it up around 4:15 and took the tri tip off at 6:20. I cleaned the bbq well but I guess I put too many coals in it. Man, that fire was HOT. I singed the outside but wow was the inside tender.
