My uncle's family lives RIGHT next to it, opposite direction of the homes in the photo.

Even before the fires started they've been fighting the new owners. They've been leaving trash uncovered for months, when it's supposed to be buried every night to cover the smell better. They are livid. My aunt has lupus, so it's not lot she's in great health to begin with.

My parents live in Odenville, and the smoke reached them yesterday. My mom grew up in the foothills of Mt St Helens, and she only has about 50% lung capacity because of the ash she inhaled when it blew its top. So this smoke is REALLY bothering her. But she's being stubborn and won't come stay with us.

edit: the landfill accepts home trash. I've even dumped hot tubs there. They take all kinds of trash there.

Very interesting firsthand info about dumping whatever there. The smell is clearly not just burning trees and leaves.

I'm near Springville and it's really bad today. My brother in law works outside and he's started coughing pretty badly. He went to the doc and it seems like he's not sick so the smoke is the obvious reason.

From what I’ve heard, the owners have no money and no insurance, and all the local/state agencies are just doing a bunch of finger pointing trying to get it off their plate. Lawsuits are being pursued but there doesn’t seem to be anything to collect or force action on. For people in the Odenville/Moody area, this may turn into a legit torches and pitchforks situation once they all decide on who to blame.
