Fire gets much worse, bad air all around

The fire near Palm Springs really got bad during the day. As I drove to work the smoke was very thick most of the way there as the winds had blown so much of it towards Temecula and through the Hemet area. This evening on the way home, things were very dark and the smoke got worse and worse as I got closer to Temecula. Soccer practice was cancelled and even with all the windows in the car rolled up and the air conditioner set to recycle air and not take in any from outside, the smell was strong.

It's unimaginable that someone would go out and set a fire like this. Four firefighters have died already and 10,000 acres have burned. It will not surprise me if the air is even worse tomorrow and children have to stay inside at school all day. It's not healthy to be outside.
