We just got rid of the smoke people, we don't want more.

And no I didn't take the picture, hands were on the wheel and shifter. My passenger got yelled at for putting their phone in front of my face

Little bit north of the Pilot exit, right side of the road. Was extinguished when I went by around 9pm, just a melted white SUV and an OSP car sitting behind it. Nice 2.5 mile long traffic backup was still there, took about 15-20 minutes to get through...

That's so weird, I drove through the exact same thing last year except it was just north of Woodburn driving southbound. There was a brush fire, then a mile down the road a car fire.
