A forest fire in Botetourt County has destroyed more than 500 acres near Buchanon. You can see the plumes of smoke from Route 43.
A road is closed between Buchanon town limits and the Bedford Couny line. And now the Glenwood Horse Trail is closed from state route 43 to state route 618.Crews fought the fire most of Friday. They say it started on Thursday.
No word on what caused it, though fire officials say they believe lightning may have started it.
