UPDATE, November 22, 1:30 p.m.: Rich Mountain Fire is 100% contained.

UPDATE, November 21, 5:30 p.m.: Rich Mountain Fire remains at around 6 acres in size. The fire is 25% contained. 52 personnel are currently assigned to the fire. The voluntary evacuation notice was lifted earlier today.

Late last night, firefighters mapped the Rich Mountain Fire and estimated the fire’s size at less than 2 acres. Around 2 a.m. today, winds from the south caused the fire to grow to about 6 acres. The fire is burning in steep, rugged terrain and is burning primarily in the park boundary at this time.

On November 20, a helicopter was used until dusk to deliver water for suppression efforts. In addition, Townsend Volunteer Fire Department and Blount County supported the initial response.

Today, firefighters are continuing to improve line around the fire. The National Park Service has ordered additional resources, including air support and more engines. If conditions allow, air resources will be used today to assist fire resources in suppression efforts.

Blount County coordinated an early-morning voluntary evacuation of homes near the park boundary. High wind and red flag warnings remain in effect for the area until later today. Several roads and campgrounds within the park remain closed for employee and visitor safety. A parkwide burn ban is also in effect until further notice.

and others too numerous to list here. Who I Am Eric is a songwriter, musical instrument builder, and a musician and lives with his wife Doris on the Mountain Plateau in a remote high elevation valley near Cashiers, NC. They have recently founded Covenant Cowboy Church in Cashiers, and serve as volunteer pastors there. 📷 Eric has worked a variety of jobs, including retail management and industrial construction in one of the world’s largest construction companies. For about 12 years he served as Director of Education and Science at Florida’s Gulfarium. He has preached (a little) and taught (a lot) in various Baptist and charismatic churches. He is currently teaching himself piano and mountain dulcimer to enhance his music writing endeavors. The Folks We Love and Serve In 2015, Eric and Doris co-founded and organized Appalachian Restoration Ministries (ARM), a non-profit ministry whose primary mission is to provide home repairs and other forms of vital assistance to the financially-disadvantaged on the Mountain Plateau in Macon and southern Jackson counties, NC. One out of every three children in our county live below the poverty level, and it is so hard to watch so many families around us suffer such need... kitchens without working plumbing or appliances, bathrooms without a bathtub or shower, terribly inadequate heating in very drafty homes in a winter climate that (due to high elevation) is very much like Buffalo, NY, and holes in the floor where rodents come and go at will, and unsafe living conditions. And there is so much of this around us! So we want to do everything we can to make life better for our neighbors. Besides fixing their homes and cars, helping them to find work and get warm clothes and basic home wares, and praying with them, we also want to bring them joy through music. Free concerts and special events for those in poverty can bring hope to the hopeless. And special fund-raising events can help to fund the work that we do. Doris has been introducing kids to their Appalachian musical heritage to open up future doors of cultural opportunities. Even though we are the Founders and joint-CEO's of ARM, we take no salary and serve alongside our volunteers. You can find out more at www.facebook.com/isa53.1 The Words I Write Eric writes music, poetry, fiction, scientific articles, commentary, and works on religion and philosophy. You can find some of his current work on their blog Violet Willow Emporium™. and on Amazon - amazon.com/author/ericdeadwyler . .
