A fire caused a smoky situation west of Effingham along US Route 40 early Monday afternoon.

The winds from the north carried smoke from the fire across the highway for a time, making it tough to see for a short distance.

Thankfully, the wind shifted and started blowing from the south, moving the smoke away from the roadway while crews knocked down the fire.
