Wildfire - North Carolina, USA
Crews worked Tuesday to build containment lines along the south side of a wildfire that has burned 2,275 acres in the Pisgah National Forest in Burke County.
U.S. Forest Service officials said the fire’s size remained the same Tuesday, but they are concerned about the possibility of the blaze spreading along the south side.
The fire, which started Nov. 11, is burning near Table Rock Mountain, in the central part of the forest between Spruce Pine and Morganton. Crews were able to build containment lines around all but the south side of the blaze last weekend.
Nearly 200 people are working to battle the blaze. The fire has closed a number of roads and trails in the area, according to U.S. Forest Service officials.
