smoke dosen't burn. That thick black smoke is the result of a 1000 degree heat monching its way through the woodland.

Woods dont produce black smoke, that has to be from some sort of in-organic material burning!

the wetness in the woods makes the smoke blacker and thicker compared to gasses burning or something. and its a lot of stuff burning
