MARLBOROUGH – Heading off the trail that goes through the Desert Conservation Area, the smell of smoke is faint at first. It is the first remnant of the 25-acre brush fire that burned deep in the area last week. Moving deeper into the woods the smell becomes unmistakable. Emerging into the site of the fire, the woods are much less dense. The felled trees on the ground are black and charred. The ground itself is covered with a sheet of ash, which plumes into clouds when stepped on. Even a week after the fire, it is still traveling underground and flaring up when it hits pockets of oxygen.
