There's a fire someplace

Smoke gets in your eyes. Smoke, smoke that cigarette. Where there's smoke there's fire. High fire danger. Fire! Fire! alarm. Fire embers scatter. Fire flies twinkle. Fireplaces warm us. The sun is on fire as it sets. The sky fire floats on the lake. The water clouds float in the sky. The scene is beautiful and deadly all at once, innocent at first. The smoke drifts across the sky; we know not from whence it comes, except that it begins in the fire. The fire in the belly of the careless man, he knew not what he did until it was too late.
