Smoke blankets Phoenix area; California fires to blame
In the Valley, we began seeing a lot of haze in the sky on Wednesday from large wildfires burning in Southern California.
We spoke with some residents who were surprised to see the Valley blanketed by smoke.
California's Bridge Fire in particular exploded in size overnight, growing to more than 47,000 acres and prompting mandatory evacuation orders. Overnight, crews worked to rescue people who could not escape the flames.
During the daytime on Wednesday, you couldn’t see South Mountain in the distance as the Valley skyline was muted by the smoke.
