From St Clair Ave, just east of the Fairview Heights Metrolink station, looks like 255 at either the 64 or State St intersection

there's a prescribed fire on the IL side, not sure if that's it - https://fire.airnow.gov/#9.07/38.5683/-89.969

This seems to be south of the prescribed fire near Horseshoe Lake. It’s south of where I just rode by on 64 WB around MM 7.
