Wildfires in Tennessee December 1st, 2, 3rd, 2016 Unusual Danger
Unusual danger possibly because it is not really wildfire season, like what is expected in California and Oregon in July, August, and September.
What is going on here is quickly and deadly approaching wildfires, where it appears there are a few of them, all within 5 or 10 miles of each other, surround, engulf, and sweep through certain areas.
Major routes in or near areas affected by the current fires in about the past week up until now, 71, 441, east of Rt 321.
Gatlinburg area, Sevier County. Impacted area, as it stands now, is just north of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a bit southeast of Knoxville, and southwest of Cherokee National Forest
Note: when dealing with unusual fires, even though the visible flames might seem as though they are no longer there and therefore the 'fire is out', there could still be latent tinder for fires to re-urupt, so, extra caution is prudent. Hopefully there are not any facilitative elements of the the wildfires beyond natural weather causes.
