Wildfire Fact Sheet - Pinnacle Mountain Fire
Fire Activity: Crews were able to complete burnout on the northeast side of the fire on Sunday afternoon. This action helped strengthen firelines from Slicking Gap down to part
of the
Slickum Falls Road and established
firebreaks near Brushy Knob down to the Table Rock Reservoir. During the night, fire crossed containment lines south of Brushy Knob, but firefighters worked into the early morning hours and were
able to put lines around this area. Work continued on the rest of the Pinnacle Mountain Fire as firefighters also
continued extinguishing hot spots and clearing firelines of falling leaves.
Today, firefighters will continue to secure the northeast side of the fire
by strengthening firebreaks and conducting
a burnout operation just north
of
the Table Rock Reservoir toward Buzzard
Mountain Road. If successful, this action will stop the spread of
the fire to the east. Crews will also patrol firelines and cool hot spots throughout the fire perimeter.
