Crews battle 90+ blazes in drought-stricken Fla
| Quote From Source: | Drought-stricken Florida continued to burn over the weekend as crews battled fires from Everglades National Park to the exposed lake bed of mammoth Lake Okeechobee.
With Florida experiencing a drought that has enveloped the entire Southeast, state fire crews were battling 90 active fires Sunday that have burned nearly 40,000 acres, according to the state Division of Forestry. A separate fire in the Everglades, which is administered and maintained by federal officials, had burned through 21,000 acres and was only 20% contained by Sunday night.
The combination of the blazes closed roads and highways in Florida and has destroyed 40 buildings and damaged another 60 around the state.

So are you having any smoke problems from this?
They should take the warning labels off of everything and let stupidity sort itself out.
