firefighters make progress in nc wildfire

Published Jun. 14, 2008

Firefighters battling a massive wildfire in eastern North Carolina hustled Saturday to take advantage of a shift in the winds near the blaze, which has been burning for almost two weeks and sending smoke into neighboring states.

 

 

 

The fire is still growing.  This article makes it sound like progress is being made, only prention is happening.  This fire will burn for a long time, it can't be put out with water.  The only thing that can be done is protection of life and property.  Check out local news at witntv.com for better coverage of this major event.

Just had a phone call from my brother. He is down there this weekend helping out. It was good to hear from him. I know he will be careful but anything can happen.

Best wishes for your safety NWH!

Thanks for the good thoughts Yukon - we need them. :)

We have fires that smolder here under the snow ALL WINTER!! This sounds like a massive fire, by all means massive by east coast standards!! I hope the smoke will get headed in an easterly direction and away from the population centers. Best wishes from the land of the midnight sun!!

The fire could burn for several months depending on rainfall. I have seen fires smolder in the peat up to 5 months and been told they can smolder more than a year during droughts. All that can be done is to watch it and try to flood part of it. I just got back from TX fighting fires and I will prob be sent to the coast in a few days.
