I thought it was super windy yesterday.

Rather unfortunate chain of events, but luckily no one lost their lives.

We happened to be driving past when this kicked off - the smoke was insane. Couldn't see the fire itself, but the smoke started as a whisp and within a few minutes it was absolutely billowing. When we were headed home the smoke was back to barely a whisp again. Turn around time of maybe 90 minutes I guess? I'm sure they were there for hours after that putting it out properly, but it was mostly out pretty quick.
