Hi @voder, thank you for sharing the photos, although we love to see the photos but please stay safe as well. I didn't know the effect so great that it turn the sky color and it look scary.
The situation now under control?

The fire that sent the smoke in the photos seems to be controlled as of right now, apparently there are some doozy situations south of here though. We're in a town of 20 000 people, and they can usually protect places like this okay, although with the winds changing its pretty hard to know what is coming where. Last year whole neighbourhoods nearby burned with no notice. Every part of the world has risks associated with its environment, tornados, floods, or in this case, random fires.
Thanks for your concern. We're pretty good here because a courthouse and a cop shop are nearby and those never burn. This year when the fires were potentially threatening our town, we got the 747 water bomber to show up and protect. Its the people in the country with the horses and goats that really are at risk.
@voder glad to hear that everything under control. What caused the fire, open burning or the weather? I could imagine the haze. In my country, every year also faced the same situation, haze from our neighbor country because of fire due to open burning. The wind blow the haze to all her neighbor countries, My country would be one of them.
