A Controlled Brush Fire In Virginia Sends Smoke Into Baltimore Area

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- If you're seeing smoke in the Baltimore area, it could be from a controlled brush fire in Virginia.

The Marine Corps Base-Quantico is performing its annual controlled burn with the U.S. Forest Service.

The smoke trail has been carried by wind into other parts of Virginia and into Maryland.

Smoke from a fire near the border of Prince William, Fauquier, and Stafford Counties is showing up on our radar and satellite. It looks like low level clouds in this picture but it is actually a smoke plume.
