YOU MAY SEE SMOKE

Residents of Palomar Mountain and some parts of Pauma Valley have been puzzling over smoke that they are seeing and smelling. Obviously this time of year they worry about fires. However, apparently what they are seeing is smoke from further north in the state.

According to Palomar Mountain Volunteer Fire Dept. Chief George Lucia, "Palomar mountain volunteer fire department has responded to numerous call reporting smoke in many areas of the mountain this morning. Each concerned resident was contacted and updated to the "drift smoke" from fires upstate."

He encourages residents to report smoke anytime they see it.
