| episode_narrative | A wildfire, started by human activity, began on the 21st of November in U.S. Forest Service land, 3 miles west of Deerfield in Southwest Augusta County. Timber and brush were extremely dry from the lack of rainfall, and caused the fire to spread rapidly. The terrain of the Jerkemtight Roadless area along the east side of Shenandoah Mountain where the fire raged was extremely steep and rocky. This made the fire fighting efforts of the Department of Forestry, U.S. Forest Service, and the National Park Service difficult at best. Seven hundred fire fighters and 2 helicopters were needed to bring the fire under control. The fire burned over 2000 acres of the George Washington and Thomas Jefferson National Forests before being controlled on the 29th of November. |
