Hey Sig. You might be best able to do it. Can you draw a map of where the fires basically are and what has burned? I don't know what people mean when hey say the spur or things like that. Thanks.

The spur is the stretch of road that runs between. Gatlinburg and pigeon forge.

Not really sure I can adequatelyrics draw a map currently.

#Dollywood spokesperson says park is fine, maybe wind damage. May have lost some of their rental cabins.

Yes. Be assured the VFL's and Tennesseans in West Tennessee are praying for all and watching intently the events. This has been the best source for updates and information. Many of us spent many good years there and it's truly a piece of our lives and hearts. Keep the pictures and stories coming. No question the true VOLunteer state will represent in the days and weeks to come.

They had to leave the animals at Ripley's. Hopefully they're ok.

I saw where 30 structures were on fire there. Just terrible.

They are saying that the aquarium is ok. Reports are that the main concern at this point is just air quality for the animals. Not sure what the fire danger still is so hoping that is the end of it
