We have a pretty good fire going up in the Linville Gorge this morning. It was about 40 acres yesterday afternoon, and with the winds last night it's probably about 50-60 acres now.

The Linville Gorge is the roughest wilderness area east of the Mississippi River. Rough terrain, nearly no access, I'd hate to be in there fighting a fire.

Came home yesterday to see a Forest Service helicopter coming over the trees from behind my house at treetop level. I mean, he was right down on the trees. Less than 50 feet AGL. I saw some smoke when I came in, and then my brother told me that there was a woods fire about a 1/4 mile behind us and the chopper was making his runs right across us.

Thankfully they knocked it down fairly quick.

Still had a crew out on it this morning though, since it's so dry and windy here.

Plus all the fresh fallen leaves are pretty potent fuel.

You're right, that is not a good combination.
