Default Fire?

Looking from our house across the lake over or past Village of Caroline and there is a fire somewhere, the smoke is dark. Anyone know what this is?

It was a bus depot in Leesburg. Saw it on the news this evening. 6 buses were fully engulfed.

yes, than landfill burns pretty often - that is why I assumed they were creating the smoke. The good news is it is only construction material, not garbage.

Did I hear correctly them say that it was deliberately set?
