About 100 more acres have burned overnight in a forest fire in Botetourt County. Nearly 600 acres are burning right now on Cove Mountain near Buchanan. Camping and hiking areas have been affected, including a section of the Appalachian Trail. Yellowstone Road has been temporarily closed.
Firefighters believe lighting may be to blame for the fire. They say no structures are in danger at this time. And despite rocky terrain, firefighters say they are making good progress. They say it should be contained by this Friday.
