Tonight, residents around Tampa Bay are smelling smoke. The smell is causing concern about fire, but sounds like it’s not anything to worry about.
Paul from Fox 13 says the smell is coming from a controlled burn in Hernando County.
If you smell smoke around Tampa Bay it's from controlled burn in Hernando County. Fairly common this time of year....
