Tuesday afternoon firefighters and aircraft were responding to an emerging fire in the Pisgah Ranger District.

The Looking Glass fire is located 4 miles northwest of Pisgah Forest, near U.S. 276.

The forest has closed trails and forest roads for the safety of both firefighters and the public, including:

-Looking Glass Rock Trail and trailhead.

-FS475 Davidson Road.

-FS475B Headwaters Road and associated trails accessed from this road.

Visitors should remain out of all closure areas. Emergency vehicles and smoke may impact traffic through the 276 corridor, so drivers should use extra caution in this area.

Steven Zvengrowski took this photo Tuesday afternoon. A helicopter fills up on water at Deer Lake in Brevard's Deer Lake Village to combat the Pisgah National Forest Looking Glass Fire.
