This fire is a little bigger than your guys’ lol. It’s raining ash today, car was covered after being parked outside for a couple hours. This is the Cameron Peak fire that’s over 23,000 acres and only 5% contained. Has been burning since mid august but this is the worst it’s looked so far.
I just want to throw this out there.

Burning is, in fact, the fastest way of releasing these chemicals to the environment. One tablespoon of ash of a pressure treated wood is exceptionally lethal.
