Ditto.

The smoke made driving the Haul Road unbearable at times, particularly when I got one of the old trucks without A/C. Either roll the windows down and choke, or leave them up and bake!

It was strange having a smoke filled boat on the arctic ocean....

Got home after it had rained a few days and put the smoke down a bit, but when I flew around, there was smoke plumes all around the place waiting for some wind to come up... A few had open flames.

Snow will slow it a bit, but it can smolder under that all winter if the conditions are right, and flare back up in the spring.
