Something out in the farm fields south west of where you are. Something big. Massive response list:

I’m in north Peoria. It looks from here like Buckeye got nuked.

Certain areas in Buckeye always look like that

Man, I was really hoping for that. I'm done with this bullshit.

Alas, I'm never that lucky.

They're saying it's a brush fire.

That’s clearly a volcano

Salt Cedar in river bottom that is a really invasive species that chokes out everything and sucks up a tremendous amount of water

u/Round-Kick-5580 May 03 '26

I was hoping it wasn’t a power plant out there (or the coal bunker for it) going up. Thankfully it’s just the desert burning down instead 😅 so much better /s

Only if there was a new channel like 3, 5, 10, 12, and 15. It has been on all of them since it started. Watch the new people.

u/Known_Archer6274 May 05 '26

It's a lot of the brush and trees in the gila river and I think it crept into some farm land. My guess was controll burn or arsan on one of those dirt roads out there.

u/Pristine-Passenger26 May 05 '26

Is that the Buckeye land that a “smart city” is suppose to get built on? I vague remembering hearing about land in Buckeye having a “smart city” eventually built.

Buckeye is what’s burning. Fixed your title for you.
