I saw the smoke from it from Wards Rd in Lynchburg, today. Looks to be pretty big... I heard over 2,000 acres have been burned now.

I used to hunt Big mount Pleasant. I hope they get it under control.

Some of my friends were going to go camping in the GWNF off of Alhambra Rd, with wild fires burning and a burn ban I doubt they'll go.

Came down 29 S of Cville last night. There was a lot of smoke around Lovingston, but apparently that's a smaller fire in Nelson. I'm hearing ~ 5,000 acres in Amherst are currently torched. I'm in SW Amherst now and there's quite a few helos coming from Lburg. It's a big hunting week, I wonder what offset/ conditions are required to legally hunt near affected areas? I hope the anticipated rain tonight squelches this. It's dry, I believe there's been a fire ban for 2 weeks.

"It is unlawful to hunt adjacent to forest fires."
Doesn't define adjacent on the website. https://www.dgif.virginia.gov/hunting/regulations/general/#unlawful-methods |

Over 11,000 acres burned now. I think they have it contained, now.
