| episode_narrative | Drought conditions over the past 18 months made the forests of western Virginia dangerously dry and contributed to the fast spread of three wildfires. The first and largest fire began on the Madions and Greene County line in Shenandoah National Park just east of Skyline Drive. It spread into a small portion of the Rapidan Wildlife Management Area and the Bootens Gap area before being controlled at 1545 acres. Several walking trails and 4 miles of the Appalachian Trail were closed and smoke was visible up to 30 miles away from the blaze. 230 fire fighters and 3 helecopters were needed to bring the fire under control. Another fire in Page County just south of Luray in Shenandoah National Park burned 850 acres of the Dog Slaughter Ridge area. A third fire which began south and east of Woodstock along Interstate 81 in Shenandoah County burned 250 acres. |
