Not sure where to post this question.
I still have "Bay Lake" as a city on my weather thingy on my iPhone. I like to look at weather conditions (and dream...)

Currently, it says the weather condition is "smoke". I've never seen that. Is there a fire in the area?

At this time of the year, brush fires are very common, as well as "controlled burns" intentionally set and closely monitored by fire personnel, the purpose being to burn off brush that could potentially feed widespread fires. There are no major fires in the area right now, but weather conditions cause the smoke to travel some distance.
The State maintains a website showing the locations of current fires; http://tlhforucs02.doacs.state.fl.us/fmis.dataviewer
