First describe the land, the foliage, the fauna, the history of the place. Go as far back as when is was at the bottom of the ocean and what kind of life swam and lived there then too. Go into why the fire started. Was it from lightening strikes? Or was it from man's first successful experiments with friction and fire? Start the fire, then go back in time again, explaining this isn't the first time this area has burned...

Oh you wanted the sentence...

Past the flannel plains and blacktop graphs and skylines of canted rust, and past the tobacco-brown river overhung with weeping trees and coins of sunlight through them on the water downriver, to the place beyond the windbreak, where untilled fields simmer shrilly in the A.M. heat: shattercane, lamb's quarter, cutgrass, sawbrier, nutgrass, jimsonweed, wild mint, dandelion, foxtail, muscadine, spine-cabbage, goldenrod, creeping charlie, butter-print, nightshade, ragweed, wild oat, vetch, butcher grass, invaginate volunteer beans, all heads gently nodding in a morning breeze like a mother's soft hand on your bushfire.
