Fire fighters to remain on Pinnacle Mountain “quite some time”

 

 

 

 

Steep terrain and no real expectation of a good rain any time soon are factors that are liable to keep fire fighters on the job on Pickens County’s Pinnacle Mountain.  Russell Hubright of the South Carolina Commission of Forestry says fire fighters anticipate finishing fire lines to the east side of the fire—practically all the way to the Table Rock reservoir.  Hubright, the public information officer, said they are looking for opportunities to get closer to the edge of the fire.  Some burnout operations are planned as a way to rob the fire of some of its fuel.
