Pinnacle Mountain fire grows

The Pinnacle Mountain fire in Pickens has grown to more than six thousand acres.  In this 13-day wildfire, the containment efforts are at 37%.  We spoke this morning to one Oconee fire fighter who has been part of the effort to stop North Carolina fires.  He is expecting to be deployed today to Pinnacle Mountain.  According to the South Carolina Forestry Commission, more than 250 crew members continue to attack the mountain fire using seven bulldozers, two fire tracks, hand crews of 60 people working to clear fuel and establish containment lines.  So far, there have been no injuries, no loss of life, and no home or major structure losses.
