If you are smelling smoke in the D.C area, you are far from the only one. Several fire departments in the region say they’ve received those reports. In fact, a lot of people are talking about the smell on social media.

The burning smell and hazy sky could possibly be connected to the wildfire in North Carolina, according to the fire departments in D.C., Fairfax and Montgomery counties. “According to the [National Weather Service,] a wind shift has caused smoke from the NC wildfires to migrate widely. Low wind speeds in our area prevent the odor and haze from dispersing,” The Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department tweeted.

D.C.’s fire department, meanwhile, says they have not received any reports of significant fires or incidents in D.C. “It is possible that this is a result of a large 5,200 acre wildfire in North Carolina,” the department tweeted. City Administrator Kevin Donahue shares that theory, as does the National Weather Service for the Baltimore/Washington region.

The wildfire over 250 miles away in northeastern North Carolina is 5,200 acres in size and 34 percent contained, as of Sunday afternoon, per the North Carolina Forest Service. The cause of the fire is under investigation. There have be no reports of injuries.

The smoke from the wildfire appears to have drifted to the region, similar to how the West Coast wildfires did. The West Coast wildfires, which at one point stretched over 1.3 million acres of land, resulted in a major alert for poor air quality.

While our air quality isn’t a code orange, it’s still not great. Indeed, AirNow, which is the official U.S. Air Quality Index, says people who are “unusually sensitive to particle pollution” should consider reducing active outdoor activities.
