| episode_narrative | Countless wildfires occurred throughout November across Harlan, Letcher, Knott, Bell, Breathitt, and Perry Counties in southeast Kentucky. ||The greatest number of fires and associated impacts were in Harlan County. The county Judge-Executive declared a state of emergency as numerous fires threatened homes and various other structures, including a 7,400 acre wildfire on Pine Mountain which closed Little Shepherds Trail from Swap to the entrance of Kingdom Come State Park for several days. A few outbuildings and an abandoned house were destroyed. Several other road blockages were reported throughout the month as wildfires continued to cause trees to topple over onto roadways, including Kentucky Highways 2005 and 179. Smoke reducing visibilities was also responsible for several road closures.||A large fire took place at Pine Mountain State Resort Park in Bell County. Crews had to use a pumper truck to keep the fire from spreading over the top of a mountain toward Pineville. The Eagles Nest Fire in Breathitt County burned for several days, endangering several homes. Power was knocked out to over 900 citizens in Perry County early in the month as the top support of a power pole was burned, causing the line to drop and the power circuit to fail. Reduced visibility in Letcher County caused a tanker truck carrying 8,400 gallons of gasoline to be involved in an accident. The tanker subsequently rolled over north of Highway 23 at Kentucky Highway 805, allowing 1,200 gallons of fuel to spill. A Knott County home near Topmost was consumed by fire near the end of the first week in November.||The vast majority of all ongoing wildfires were able to be contained on November 28th as increasing moisture and eventual rainfall helped extinguish them. |
