elsiegee40 Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 These fires can burn for longer than weeks. They are virtually impossible to extinguish

timbo343 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Posted February 4, 2014 Yeah, it seems to died down now. There was still a smell in the air last week but no smoke. Apparently they said it was under control last week.
