Virginia Interagency Coordination Center (VA-VIC):  Fire activity increased 
today with gusty winds and relative humidities in the teens. The Virginia 
Department of Forestry was fighting large fires moving toward Lee County on 
10/29, Virginia from southeast Kentucky.  They are still staffing 2 large 
fires in Lee and Buchanan Counties.  The Shenandoah National Park was initial 
attacking two fires late on 10/29. The Pinnacles Fire near Luray is 200 
acres, with no estimated containment and burning intensely. The fire was held 
at Skyline Drive. The Fork Mountain Fire is 51 acres, also has no estimated 
containment.  A scratch line is in place around the fire.
