It has been pretty smokey here where I live due to the Swan lake fire, a couple fires up north, and a couple of fires down south. The Swan lake fire is by far the largest right now. There is only one road out of the area, and that has been closed several times for lots of hours due to thick smoke and extremely low visibility.
One way out is like these geese at a fiery sunset from Tuesday the 20th:
It is close to fall, some of the water fowl are already beginning their migration back south. The weather, has been plenty warm this summer, down right hot on a few occasion, but the Swan Lake fire has been burning since very early July.

Clicking off the fire info box will allow you to zoom the map in and out to see the various fires. Really not a whole lot of fire activity for the year, the Swan Lake one seems to be the largest and worst. We are getting some nice partial sunsets, partial because the smoke is so thick that we don't really get to see it drop behind the mountains, due to the smoke, and maybe some clouds.
Hoping the fire season is winding down for us up here, i did hear that Northern California is having another good sized fire, but this year does seem to be a bit less fiery than three years ago.
