It’s a little hard to tell without clicking for a bigger image, but the highway sign says wildfire. The 2nd part of the message was Hwy 115 closed. I took the picture soon after 6 PM.
Yesterday it was in the 70s and a couple brush fires started. There were big plumes of smoke to the south. Highway 115 was closed as were some highways to the southeast from another fire. 3 Firefighters died fighting the fires.
This morning it was sunny but a little cool. This afternoon a sloppy spring snowstorm moved in. According to a report on The Gazette tonight, the snow has allowed residents to return home along Highway 115.
