"Swamp Fire Smoke Engulfs New Orleans, Affecting Breathing and Visibility"
Heavy smoke is filling the air in New Orleans due to a fire near Bayou Sauvage, which was caused by a lightning strike on July 29. The fire is being overseen by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and is surrounded by water, making it difficult for firetrucks to reach. The smoke is causing visibility issues and a burning smell, and a dense fog advisory has been issued. However, the wind is expected to increase on Tuesday, which should help disperse the smoke and prevent fog from developing.
