SoCal residents living near the Angeles National Forest may want to ask themselves whether what they're smelling is smoke -- or pot.

The Station fire has destroyed an untold number of marijuana plantations in the forest northeast of Los Angeles, a growing hub for pot-growing operations in California.

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Lt. Phil Abner said three marijuana cultivation areas identified just before the fire are believed to have burned and many more are assumed to have been destroyed.

Officials don't know how many plants were in the three areas.

Because marijuana is grown in a hodgepodge style and the plants are concealed by tall brush, it is hard to gauge from helicopters the size of each grove.
