Smelled it in millbrae when I left work, got worse towards Mtn View. Looked even worse further south. What burned?

Hopefully Milpitas.

from what i could tell up here in fairfield they were burning off marshland off of grizzly island to prevent a wildfire. they have been doing small burns lately but today was quite larger, and with little wind the smoke just went everywhere.

It was all "smoky" in SSF but thinned out as I got to Millbrae. Didn't see anything around the SSF area. I thought it would be the hillside off the 101. ????

hey man....long as my house and my car are ok you can have the rest of milpitas.

the smoke smell and look was pretty bad in newark...crazy that no one knows what it was. It seemed to be a lot of crap in the air.
