The Jackson fire is contained, according to the latest I've heard. The sky here is still slightly yellow and it still looks a little hazy, but at least inside it doesn't smell of smoke.
EDIT: Apparently the report I heard early this morning was a bit too condensed. The wildfire, as of a few hours ago, is only 70% contained, and has burned upwards of 75 acres now. The sky is still yellow-overcast; the haze is somewhat less than it was this morning, but is still there and still visible.
EDIT 2: Something is happening. The haze has gotten significantly heavier, the sky darker, and the smoke smell stronger in just the last hour. And I've just found out that this isn't smoke from the Jackson fire, or at least not just smoke from the Jackson fire. There is a circular air flow around a low pressure system centered just about on the Great Lakes that is grabbing smoke from Ottawa, slinging it around the Great Lakes through the Midwest, and then firing it through Virginia and up at us.
