| event_narrative | Dry vegetation along with windy conditions caused a grassland burn northeast of Bath near the James River to get out of control during the early afternoon hours. Strong north to northeast winds of 20 to 35 mph caused the fire to spread quickly south along the James River. The fire became one and a half miles wide and burned six miles to the south before it was brought under control. A total of four thousand acres was burned. The smoke from the fire could be seen from miles around and lowered visibilities enough to close State Highway 12 two different times. One time, traffic had to be diverted on Highway 12 for six hours due to the low visibility in smoke. Also, the Burlington Northern/Sante Fe Railroad was delayed in Bristol and Andover on April 3rd because of the smoke. Twenty-one fire departments with around 250 people worked to bring the fire under control. |
