Firefighters rush to contain Shelby County wildfire as high winds approach.
The fire, which began near a residential area on heavily forested Double Oak Mountain in Shelby County, was burning in rough terrain that made it difficult for firefighters to work. While some homes were endangered by the fire, no structural damage or injuries were reported.
Officials haven’t said what caused the blaze, which began Saturday afternoon, but it started at an address in a subdivision near Vandiver and authorities say it’s a bad time to burn debris. Smoke from the fire is visible from miles away. Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission.
