Rain Helps Cut Fire Potential in Howellsville County
Rain blanketed the region, easing fire danger but too late to stop two twin blazes in Howellsville County near the Clarke County line south of Route 50. About 100 acres burned before being checked around 3 AM after a flare up near noon, prompting 75 firefighters to respond. The rain, including 2 inches in Winchester and half to 2 inches in Clarke County, lifted the Shenandoah National Park activity ban and left officials awaiting a state forecast.
