Sand Fire smoke and ash drift to Burbank

Photo: FLLewis / Media City G –Smoke from the huge Sand Fire created drama in the sky over Burbank late yesterday Burbank July 23, 2016

The Sand Fire, burning miles away in the Santa Clarita area, spewed smoke into the air and some drifted over Burbank on Saturday. These photos were taken after 3 p.m. yesterday near the Pavilions market in the Rancho Marketplace Center Shopping Center parking lot on West Alameda Avenue. Also, ash from the wildfire fell from the sky in B-town. Along with the triple digit heat and muggy air, many Burbankers wisely chose to spend as little time outside as possible.
