60 to 80 acre fire burning outside of Gatlinburg

Just seen this on WBIR. Sounds like wind blowing trees in to power lines caused it this time. They did say it's 10% contained already.

With the heavy rain forecast for tonight I would think it would put a number on it. Not as dry as back in the fall.

Agreed but anybody up there needs to be on alert.

After last time one can never be too cautious.

Gatlinburg needs to run all their power lines underground.

Looks like the fire is 100% contained.

Seen tonight this is being investigated as arson.

Brings me back to the November fires. Anybody heard anything about the two that started them?
