The next day we showed Judd (he lives about a mile away from the school) the pictures and waited for his reaction. He was not as surprised by the fire as much as we "city-folk" were. We asked what are you allowed to burn in the country and what burns so black? He said you can't burn tires but oil burns very black and farmers burn their old oil from their tractors. Ah ha! Another teachable moment!
As we were driving home from school, we noticed black smoke to the east of us. The kids were amazed at how black it was and hoped we would drive past it. I took a guess that it was an accident on I80. Jorge thought it was someone burning leaves. BJ thought a house was on fire. As we drove closer, we realized that it was too close to us (traveling on the IWV) to be I80. I said, "This looks like too much smoke to be someone burning something." However, I was wrong. We took a very short detour to check it out and this is what we saw... It was a controlled fire because we saw people managing it. But what could make it so black?
