California News Firefighters have been battling the La Brea Wildfire near Santa Maria for four days. It grew by more than 400 acres Monday bringing the total to over 15,000 acres burned.

Officials aren't sure what sparked the fire.

The wildfire is sending smoke into the Valley. If you've stepped outside Tuesday, you've probably noticed the thick smog in the air. Of course, with the air being with way it is, you'll want to limit your outdoor activity.
