Good thing we're supposed to get some rain Wednesday

BostonTimelapse looked out of his South Boston window towards the Blue Hills Reservation around 7:50 tonight and saw the red-hued smoke from brush fires south of the park. He reports that an hour later, the fires, or at least the glow from them, had died down. The National Weather service is still calling for "much needed widespread, meaningful rain late Wed night into Thu."

‘We Could Smell It From Our Apartment’

"The recent brush fires over a historically dry stretch included two separate ones over four days in wooded parts of the Bronx’s sprawling Van Cortlandt Park that have local residents and officials concerned about what could be coming before significant rain finally arrives.

"'Remarkably dry conditions in October and so far in November have resulted in a historic amount of brush fires over the last two weeks,' FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker said in a statement on Wednesday, hours before another brush fire erupted in Inwood Hill Park. 'Due to a significant lack of rainfall, the threat of fast spreading brush fires fueled by dry vegetation and windy conditions pose a real threat to our members and our city."
