Default what's burning???

i've smelled smoke for about an hour but assumed it was someone barbecueing. you can see the smoke in the air now. i think it's something bigger than a charcoal grill dinner. what's burning? i'm at randolph & cambridge. i'm going out investigating.

There's quite a bit of smoke around 3rd and Market, too. It's a junkyard fire in South Philly--no wonder it smells so awful.

I live near 20th and Ritner. Just imagine how much it stinks this close to the fire. Holy Sh*t! Before I saw the news I thought my neighbor forgot to shut his grill off.

I thought the shell next to me was on fire...smelled like an electrical fire to me. I went outside and a few neighbors came out as well, looking for the source. An officer of the 26th pulled over and told us about the tire fire and I saw it confirmed on the news last night.

wow.. i smelled that joint last night all the way up in the NE. At first I thought it was my burning passion for teaching, but then I realized that teaching was more like burning trash/paper, and not rubber.
