Back in the seventies, it didn't stay high up - that was when they discovered that the outgassing from some of the factories could combine under the right hot, moist atmospheric conditions and spontaneously ignite. Fwoosh. Fwoosh through a good portion of the city. It only lasted a few minutes but it started a lot of ground-level fires.
Also, the river bursts into flame a few times a year. This is not a clean city. Amazing sunsets, though.
