I want to say it was hydrangea but that doesn't sound just right, but some kind of flowery bush like that. And no they never think of the toxicity of the roads and the buildings. But damn they were pulling those bushes..

It was not a question of the County "believing" that the smoke from the huge amount of oleander that was present, it's because oleander IS a deadly poison - every aspect of it is - including burning it and the resulting smoke.
Not much one can do to stop the roads and houses from burning during a lava flow, but ripping out a highly poisonous prolifically growing bush was a very wise decision.
