| episode_narrative | The prolong stretches of Indian summer caused the autumn fire season to peak in November. Governor Wise imposed a statewide ban on all outdoor burning. That declaration was finally lifted on the 27th, after some much needed rain. Yet, a few fires even lingered into December. Smoke restricted visibility in the valleys of southern West Virginia. The WV Division of Forestry estimated over 450 individual fires during the month, burning roughly 37,600 acres. Total acreage affected during the whole autumn fire season was around 75,000 acres from over 800 fires. The state used 400 National Guard troops in 4 one week rotations. The state also used 2 small tanker aircrafts. The state was seeking money from FEMA to recoup part of its firefighting cost. The state estimated the brush and forest fires cost them approximately $300 per acre burned. |
