Very late, but added in case someone else runs into this map: what happened was that I hit the demon pits (which are past the magma, covered in miasma); the smoke is from a creature that was flinging fireballs at everything. The fort did indeed have a full population just before it died; those that weren't killed outright (the military did manage to kill all of the monsters) grabbed flaming corpses, went crazy, or died crossing the bridge (which is partly rebuilt in this shot) while crazy dwarves were tearing it down.
