Does anyone know if there’s a fire or something that happened? Went for a hike and the smell was so overbearing had to leave. It’s seemingly hazy too. Smells like bad burning plastic.

It smelled awful over near Center of New England Boulevard in Coventry too, kinda like overheated truck brakes? No idea what it was though, unfortunately.

I noticed it, too. For a second I was worried that it was coming from my car. It smelled like an electric fire.

I thought something was wrong with my truck because I could smell it there and then still when I got home. Glad it’s not just me

Wtf I literally smelled this on bald hill walking in a parking lot thinking damn someone smashed on their brakes …. What the fuck is going on in the air ? That’s like a 30 mile radius …

There was a box truck completely on fire on 295 north coming from Warwick today. I passed it on my way home around 2pm it was fucking insane

I read something on FB about it being related to a fire at a chicken factory in CT.
