Summary

Description

The sky was very orange this evening for the couple hours before sunset because of smoke from the Rumsey fire, a wildfire burning about 90 miles north of here.

While taking this picture, I had the oddest sensation -- the light was very weak, getting on towards dusk, but the heat from the sun was still quite strong, more like the middle of the day.

The fire was intentionally set Sunday evening, four days ago, and has burned about 38,000 acres. About 1,800 people are fighting the fire. Thankfully, it's in a remote area, and there hasn't been damage to people or structures (except one fire lookout tower, and lots of respiratory stress closer to the fire).
