High Winds Dump Dirty Surprise on San Fernando Valley

San Fernando Valley - There was something nasty in the air over the San Fernando Valley over the weekend. High winds dumped ash and dirt from hillsides left bare by the Station Fire and Sayre Fire all over the place.

The air thick with a brown haze hanging over the san fernando valley like a curtain for as far as the eye could see... which really wasn't all that far.

"It's just gray, brown, black and it looks like there is a fire again. It's terrible."

The windy weather blew more than just patio furniture around. It dumped ash and dirt all over cars... into pools... everywhere.

"It was cleaned yesterday and there was a lot of wind so it doesn't look like it was cleaned at all."

The wind blowing the ash right off the barren hillsides, left that way by a combination of the Station Fire this year and the Sayre Fire last year.

At the Rise and Shine Cafe in Sunland, it was all anyone could talk about. The wind....and the dirt it brought with it.

Pat Davenport, Los Angeles City Representative:
"The biggest brush fire in the history of LA County lies right to the north of us and the wind is coming out of the north so it is a problem."
