From the text ... 'Smoke turned daylight into darkness Monday near a fire in the Everglades that has charred about 120,000 acres, prompting authorities to warn some people with respiratory problems to stay indoors....Firefighters set controlled blazes to help contain the Everglades flames, which charred dry marsh grass and darkened the sky in the Fort Lauderdale and Miami areas with clouds of thick smoke over the weekend.'
