Description

While driving along Panama Lane, I encountered heavy smoke that reduced visibility and required me to slow down. The source appeared to be the front yard of 9026 E. Panama Lane, where a young man was attempting to cover the smoke with dirt. The smoke was drifting toward Lamont and a nearby elementary school.
