Apparently there is a large fire west of Brandon. Hope it's not serious.

Visibility was really bad because of the smoke.

Is always extremely busy just before and after 5 lot of commuters from the west.
The accident was at intersection where cars were being detoured onto the side road. To be fair the dust on the side road likely the cause of the accident. The dust was worse then the smoke.
The detour was just moved east one more road for people who live to the west of the city.
Just hope the people houses near Rosewood Cemetary are saved.

I drove through on my way home around 445pm and it looked like they had a good handle on it already. Vehicles were still driving at the speed limit on the highway at that time.
