wildfire that has burned over 100 structures in the hills near Pigeon Forge, Tennessee is nearing full containment, Tennessee Wildland Fire officials said.

Just over 3,700 acres of land have been scorched from the Hatcher Mountain Road/Indigo Lane Fire, but firefighters now report 85% containment.

Damned illegals and lefttard environmentalists burning Tennessee again? May the fires that feed on them in hell be 100 times worse.

My thoughts exactly! When if ever, has there been a fire like that in TN?

I find it hard to believe the whole country is not at risk from acts of violence on a larger scale.

National treasure Dolly Parton has made a rare political statement, coming out in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Parton, 74, made the statement to Billboard in an expansive feature published Thursday.

“I understand people having to make themselves known and felt and seen,” she said of the protests that erupted across the United States in response to the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. “And of course Black lives matter. Do we think our little white asses are the only ones that matter? No!”

The colorful quote comes after the revelation that Parton was ahead of the curve when it comes to country music re-brandings: In 2018, she renamed her Dixie Stampede dinner attraction in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, “Dolly Parton’s Stampede.”

2016?

They wouldn’t have wildland equipment and wildland crews if wildland fires weren’t somewhat common.

It stands out because they are relatively small compared to the ones out west and they fill the climate change narrative.

They are fairly common this time of year as the spring rains haven’t really pushed the spring growth yet.

I think the Gatlinburg fire a few years ago might’ve been worse.

Plus, she got all woke and changed the Dixie Stampede at Dollywood to Stampede because the word Dixie offends people.

She’s basically a woke hot mess.

In the 1970’s the American Independent Party had its national headquarters in Pigeon Forge. This was more or less the Dixiecrat wing of the conservative movement.

I am not sure of cause of this, but seems like an odd time of year for a fire like this...

Has TN been in drought conditions?

Wasn’t there also another fire in the same area about 3 to 4 years ago?

@@@@@@

The big one in Gatlinburg was a young teen shooting flaming arrows for fun that caught the woods on fire.

What is the source for this fire?
