burning for you
the state park near us does periodic controlled burns of hundreds of acres of pine barrens. This is done during dry periods to prevent uncontrollable wildfires which can occur with a lightning strike. I guess I understand the need for this destruction in an effort to prevent larger destruction. Still, many animals lose their homes when the burns take place and the sky gets filled with smog for a few days.
Occasionally these fires have gotten out of control with unexpected shifts in the winds and spread to threaten nearby neighborhoods. Though it might look like the grasses are on fire, the bright part is the sun setting through the smoggy area. The actual fires are about 15 miles away.
