For those in the Riverside Area today, i'm sure you notice the big puff of smoke outside by the 60-91-215 interchange right.

Here are some shot i got with my camera. I never seen a puff of smoke so big and thick like that. Pretty crazy. Its about 1-2 miles from my work.

According to SigAlert.com, the fire is at 2610 Durahart St Riverside, CA 92507

I know member JohnJayB work down the street from where the fire is. If he's still at work, he must have one heck of a view.

Where were you in Oct of 2003 when San Bernardino, Ventura, AND San Diego counties were up in flames?

No matter which way you drive, you were driving toward a fire. Now THAT was scary.

Not a HUGE fire, 5 acre lot, but the amount of smoke generated from this plastics recycling refiner is unbelievable! Check out the video footage from Fox's website:

yea it wasn't a huge fire, but unlike wildfires, the smoke stack from this fire was concentrated. It was really thick and pretty wide. When i first saw it, i thought a tanker truck had caught fire like the one in the Bay area and destroyed freeway bridge a month or two back.
