WILD FIRES by Linda Packer Young

Deemed the largest mountain wildfire in South Carolina history with extension into Transylvania County, NC the fire is largely under control.  Thanks to Mother Nature providing much needed rain, the fire threat has diminished. Those of us in the effected areas are greatly relieved.  We finally have fresh air to breathe and a sigh of relief.  Now we can put things away that we gathered for a possible evacuation. 

We must keep in mind that areas that did not burn are still prone to future fires due to the amount of damage and debris from Hurricane Helene.  Please refrain from burning anything outdoors.  We recently had all the leaves and storm debris picked up from our yard and taken away.   We are so glad we did.
