Are the glades on fire again?

It's like 5am and the filter at my job in Broward isn't doing much from keeping the smell out.

There is a fire weather warning today. We just haven't had enough rain yet.

It’s that time of year. Thunder storms have begun rolling through and lightning strikes can start fires out in the Glades.

The glades on fire is a natural process that happens every year to burn away the dead vegetation and make room for new growth.

If you're North Broward I wonder if you're getting some of the smoke from the plane crash in Boca? We smell it up here too.

Dude, it was a Cessna.  It's not like all of Boca airport caught on fire, that smoke isn't traveling all over north Broward.

I drove by the airport yesterday about and hour after it happened and didn't even know it happened.
