What’s the sulphuric/burning smell, is that just me?

Thought I was having a stroke but a friend in Roxborough and a friend in Montco said the same thing. Does anyone else smell something sulphuric/burning that started this afternoon? Or are we all having a stroke simultaneously?

Edit: I did some digging and it looks like the Pennsylvania game commission had a controlled burn scheduled today: pgc link

Someone sent me a tweet that a controlled burn in NJ is blowing smoke northwest, but it was a screenshot of a tweet so I’m def not confirming it’s accuracy.

Oh shit I wonder if that’s what I smelled when I left for work this morning? I was in such a rush that I thought it was gas and called PGW.

I definitely smelled something around 5pm when I stepped out to get some food.

The whole city smells. I live 1,000 miles away, but can smell the place before we can see it when we drive into town.
