Mandytilf Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I thought I smelled smoke this morning when I took the youngest out to the bus stop. Didn't see anything more than a misty look to the sky over here by PCHS. Hope they find it before it spreads into something worse! Link to post Share on other sites

bored Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I am near PCHS and have smelled smoke for hours. The helicopter was hovering earlier but I see nothing. Link to post Share on other sites
gwilli8866 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Just heard on the scanner that it appears to be a large pile of old tires.... attempting to get it put out. Link to post Share on other sites
LindaB Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Did they say where it is? Link to post Share on other sites
gwilli8866 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Son & hubby just came back down Mustang Drive and they saw the flames & heavy black smoke in the general area of the old Bleakly farm. Not sure which actual road the fire is on. Link to post Share on other sites
FreeBird Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I have not heard any traffic on this one. GFC was working another fire when the call went out so I am assuming they arrived to help contain the burn. Link to post Share on other sites
bored Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) I live near the old Bleakley farm. There are no flames showing but a heavy smoke smell. We drove down the road and back and I believe this is at the corner of Davis Mill North and Hay Renfroe. I did call to report the smoke is heavy at that corner but no flames were seen.
