Multiple fires started today in #WNC  

SFRO connected with the McDowell County EOC Director to see if they needed air assets. 

The fires both in the Crooked Creek area as well as the  Woodlawn were well established. 

Local fire and NC State Forestry fire personnel deployed and got to work cutting fire breaks, and setting controlled back burns to slow the fires down. 

Fires jumped roads do to high winds. 

This is our home and those are our neighbors. We are here to continue to support efforts throughout WNC to recover as well as fight back against the bingo card if natural disasters and bad weather we’ve experience in the last 5 months.
