Here is a great writing exercise...describe a smell

It certainly has practical applications - type of smoke or gas smells as you are calling the Fire Department. But as a writer, trying to evoke a particular sensation is a rather difficult proposition. I'll be back after I have played with this idea some more...I have set out to describe 3 different smells with the hope that I can convey the sensations.
