Fire!
"There's a fine golden haze on the meadow..."
But wait! This isn't Oklahoma and that haze off toward Mingus Mountain isn't golden. It's wood smoke.
There's a 400 acre fire burning up on top of the mountain, in the Prescott National Forest. Forest Service officials have been letting the fire burn as it is in a region marked for treatment, i.e. controlled burning.

Meantime, as a former colleague of mine used to write in any story about forest fires . . . "smoke will settle in low-lying areas as temperatures cool after sundown."
